A:AnswerThe dishwasher is panel ready. The idea is that you may put a panel of your choice on it to match your cabinets.
It is just grey steel on the front, not the white cabinet front that is pictured. This is just an example. Instructions and a template are provided. There are also YouTube videos of how it is done.
A:AnswerHi Scooter. Thank you for your question. Here are the Custom Panel Requirements: Do not exceed 30 1/8” (765mm) for the overall front panel length Needs to be at least 3/4” thick Minimum weight is 9 lbs. and maximum weight is 18 lbs.
A:AnswerNo.
The installation cost does not include installation of the panel.
I had a custom panel made for our Bosch.
The installation wasn't difficult (a drill to make some pilot holes and a screwdrive).r.
Your panel made for the GE dishwasher might match the Bosch, so a drill wouldntt be necassy.
The panel install (including triple checking my measurements) took less than 40 minutes.
Good Luck.
