Removal of decor panel from Bosch dishwasher SGV46M03GB

[BigAl2]

The wooden decor door panel on my Bosch dishwasher has swollen, making it very difficult to open the door.

Can anyone tell me which screws to remove from the inside of the door, and the full procedure for the removal of the panel please?

Are we talking about an integrated appliance that has a cabinet door on. If so slightly open the appliance door, so you can lift the door upwards. It should mounted in away that the door will lift away.

A picture or two of what you have may help.

2 or 4 of the screws around the inside of the door will screw into the panel,the top two outers and the middle ones down the side.Some have screws behind plastic caps on the side of the door depending on age.

Often just held on with clips to face and secured by 2-4 screws on the inner door.

Many thanks for your replies.

It is an integrated dishwasher, in the middle of a run of "framed" kitchen units. On the inside of the dishwasher door, there are three star-head screws down each side, and four acrossthe top. What I really needed to know was which screws to remove. In the end, I unscrewed them one at a time. Some were very short, and clearly didn't reach the decor panel, so I left those in place.

There were four longer screws, the top two outers and the middle ones down the side, as Assuhors helpfully suggested.

Once I had removed these, I was then able to pull the decor door upwards to release it from the small clips at the bottom on each side.

Now I can sort out the swollen decor panel!
