Questionis the dishwasher usable without the custom panel? Not sure how long it is going to take cabinet maker
Asked 5 years ago by 3925MAGGIES.
- Answer It absolutely is usable, however difficult to open & close if fully mounted in without the front panel providing a handle. If you need to use it before completed better to have it sit a little forward and out from under cabinet. Also, the door is designed for the weight of the cabinet to counter the resistance, so without it, the door will want to pull up and close WAY more aggressively than normal. Also, for the fit to work proper we had to remake cabinet plate to 29x23 3/4.

Questiondo i need a panel kit to install the cabinet panel
Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer There is a kit to attach the panel but you need the panel. You can go to your cabinet maker or Lowes or Home Depot to get the panel too. I go mine there but that said the panel is another 150 to 1000 so i think you are better off getting the stainless panel. If i was to do it again i would. Don't get me wrong i love the look of the one with the cabinet but i am not sure its worth the expense and time. The goo thing is if you ever have to replace the dishwasher you can reuse the panel in most cases.

QuestionI currently have a Maytag/Ikea dishwasher I am replacing that already has a cabinet face on it. Can I use the same one on this dishwasher?
Asked 2 years ago by Diverbrian.
- Answer Measure the cabinet face you have.Then consult the specs for the NEW dishwasher "Panel size" to see if they match. I have had 3 "panel ready" dishwashers in my kitchen and no problem switching the panel from the old on to the new one. The only caveat is that the panel needs to be well-made.

QuestionGetting a panel made. What should be the exact dimensions? Thank you!
Asked 2 years ago by Alexandre.
- Answer The specs for the new dishwasher will tell you the size. It is probably a standard size for compatibility between brands. My best advice is to have the panel made by an experienced cabinetmaker to match your existing cabinetry. If you are a skilled woodworker, you might do it yourself but otherwise let a pro do it. If done right, you will love the look.

QuestionCan I use a flat plain modern panel? Do I drill my own holes for handle? Pictured is a small handle. Can I use a wider handle instead?
Asked 3 years ago by Sam.
- Answer A panel ready dishwasher allows you to make the exterior of the dishwasher to your taste.I suggest that you have the panel made to match the kitchen cabinetry, including the handle, so that it will blend in. Any competent cabinetmaker can do the job for you. If you make it yourself, be a perfectionist. The panel can be moved to a new dishwasher when you replace the current one.

QuestionI have a Thermador Saphire with a custom panel. Existing panel is 23 3/4 wide. 3/4 inch thick and 29 3/8 tall. Will that panel fit on any of our panel ready models?
Asked 4 years ago by Teddy.
- Answer Most manufacturers have standard mounting hole locations and standard sizes for front panels. Unless your panel does NOT cover the entire dishwasher door (such as if the controls are front-mounted) you can be pretty confident it will work. Check the new dishwasher specs to verify this.

QuestionWhy do I need to buy Bosch power cord? DW comes with its own cord! Thanks
Asked 4 years ago by Wes.
- Answer Hi Wes, thank you for your question. Model:SHVM78Z53N does include a direct power cord. However, if you want to hardwire this dishwasher you would need to order the Junction Box with power cord Model:SMZPCJB1UC.

QuestionSo then, the picture of this item with the white panel is just an example of how it "might" look, correct? It doesn't come with a white panel that I can stain or paint, is that true? Meaning, I have to purchase something additional for my kitchen decor.
Asked 5 years ago by Anteek.
- Answer You are correct. This design is for buyers who want the dishwasher to "blend in" with the existing cabinetry. Therefore you will need a front panel the matches your cabinetry--including the hardware. I suggest a wide handle rather than a knob-type drawer pull. If you want a "normal" dishwasher look, order a different model.
