8 FRONT PANEL VARIATIONS
Vari-Front Panel Pack - All KitchenAid dishwashers are equipped with reversible front panels. If you wish
to change the colour of your dishwasher panels, consult your Use and Care Guide for instructions on how
to reverse these panels.
Custom Panels - If custom wood or decorator front panels are to be used, they should be
l/4”
(6 mm) thick.
Length and width dimensions should be the same as the Vari-Front panel inserts. If wood panels are less
than %I” (6 mm) thick, they must be shimmed up to the required
114”
(6 mm) with appropriately sized back
up board (corrugated cardboard, masonite, etc.). If wood panels are thicker than
l/4
’ (6 mm), the edges will
have to be trimmed down on all four sides as shown in Fig. 20. IMPORTANT: The finish applied to custom
wood panels should be applied to the front, back, and all edges, and must be waterproof since a certain
amount of moist air is discharged from the machine.

The use of custom panels may necessitate adjustment of the door tension. The door should be counterbalanced
(i.e. doesn’t fall open when unlatched or pull itself closed from the open position).
If the door pulls Itself closed from the open (hortzontal) posItIon, close the door and adjust the door springs
by moving the adjustable door spring brackets (Fig. 21) upward to alternate holes. Move brackets downward
if the door falls open too quickly.
If the custom panels are too heavy and the door still falls open when unlatched, heavy duty door springs,
part number 4171002, should be ordered from your KitchenAid dealer.
