Stainless Steel Bowed Panel (On Some Models) - GE Profile PDW8200 Series Technical Service Manual

Stainless Steel Bowed Panel (on some
models)
To Remove the Bowed Panel:
1. Open the dishwasher door to the fully open (89
degrees open) position.
2. Remove 8 screws (4 screws per side) which
hold the outer panel to the door assembly. Be
careful not to remove the 2 screws which hold
the escutcheon to the door assembly.
3. Slowly close the door.
4. Once the door is closed, remove the 2 screws
that connect the bottom of the outer panel to
the hinge arms.
5. While holding the outer panel against the door
assembly, slowly open the door to about 15
degrees open so the top of the outer panel is in
front of the kitchen countertop. If the dish-
washer is not installed, the door does not have
to be opened.
6. Rotate the bottom of the outer panel out such
that the panel is now vertical.
7. Lift up on the stainless steel outer panel such
that top corner flanges lift up over the corner
cutouts in the escutcheon. Move the panel
forward and over the escutcheon so that the
panel is totally separated from the door. (See
photos of escutcheon and outer panel below.)
To Install the Bowed Panel:
1. Open the door to about 15 degrees open so
that the top of the outer panel is in front of the
kitchen countertop. If the dishwasher is not
installed, the door does not have to be opened.
2. Lift the outer panel up in the vertical position
and hang the outer panel over top of the
escutcheon. Take care to ensure that the
stainless steel panel corner flanges go over
and around the escutcheon corner cutouts.
3. While holding the outer panel to the escutch-
eon, slowly close the door.
Do not remove
this screw from
either side.
