5.2.6.3 Control Panel RH side Dress-Panel: The right
hand side dress panel is attached and removed in a similar
manner to section 5.2.6.2. The three lens assemblies are
held on the rear face of the panel.
NOTE: While removing the panel, ensure the 6 retaining
clips are not damaged. The bottom clips should be pressed
out first during removal, and clipped in last on assembly.
This will allow the small locators molded to the top of the
panel to enter the mating recesses in the steel control panel
window. Reassemble in reverse order.
5.2.6.4 Carrier Panel: The carrier panel is removed from the
assembly by bending the two side metal retainers on the
control panel to a vertical position.
NOTE: There are 4 plastic "spacers" fitted to the carrier panel
beneath the top metal retainers.
Unscrew 3 steel screws from the front of the panel and lift the
carrier panel away from the control panel in an outward and
upwards direction. Reassemble in reverse order.

lation refer to section 5.2.5. The procedures are similar for

NOTE: The compression spring fitted to built-in models has a
brown paint mark designating the application is for a stan-
dard metal door. A yellow paint mark on a compression
spring determines the spring is for an integrated model, and
is fitted prior to the installation of a wood panel.
CAUTION: Do not use yellow marked springs with a
standard sheet metal door panel.
CAUTION. Switch off electrical power supply
and turn off water supply at main or
dishwasher shutoff.
5.2.7.1 To remove the push rod and fixed guide, close the
door and push the fixed guide downward to unlatch the two
retainer lug clips, while pulling the bottom of the fixed guide
away from the Chassis Rail. NOTE: The right hand side
guide housing also holds the door microswitch for the interior
light. Ensure the power supply is disconnected prior to
changing the door springs.
5.2.7.2 Upon removing the fixed guide from the Chassis Rail
slots, the push rod and door spring can be disconnected
from the swing arm of the hinge plate by tilting the push rod
outward to disengage the offset keeper/retainer.
