Installation Notes

Disconnect power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker before beginning any control panel service work. This part is typically installed by a qualified appliance service technician familiar with dishwasher door and control assembly disassembly procedures. Refer to the unit service manual for panel retention clip locations and wiring harness routing before removal. Do not apply excessive force to the panel clips during installation, as damage to the door liner or mounting tabs may result.
