Door Panel

PDW9700 Series and PDW9900 Series

Note: For top control dishwashers, there must be

1/2-inch clearance between the top of the door and the counter top.

The door panel covers the main control board, detergent cup, vent fan, motor, louver, wire harness, Smart Dispense bottle, Smart Dispense detergent sensor, Smart Dispense pump, and door-interlock switch.

The outer door panel is held in place by 12 screws (5 Phillips head screws per side and two 1/4-in. hex head screws at the bottom).

Note: A ribbon cable connects the keypad membrane (3-digit display on some models) to the control circuit board. Due to the ribbon length, care must be taken when removing the door panel to ensure that the ribbon cable is not damaged.
