  • No inner panel stays in place only the top door plastics need removing. Top 8 screws will do the trick. By Kenjtay - Devon - 23 April 2010
  • You shouldn't need to remove the internal panel to fit this. The screws along the inner edge should release the outer plasic cover only. Note the 2 different threads on the screws and make sure they go back in the same place. By Hearnshaw - Bronte Country - 05 April 2010
  • The dishwasher that I repaired (haier) reqired removal of eight philips head screws to give enough acess to the switch then remove the two screws that hold the switch th the door inner, release and lift out the switch assembly remove the two power wires and refit the new switch in the reverse order. Remember to isolate the power before comensing work. By emjo - Southport Merseyside - 24 February 2010
  • I didnt think so but after fitting my new lock something must have happened as it doesnt release anymore By ksmakem - kingston upon thames - 18 February 2010
  • When you remove all the panel screws its only the outercover on the door that comes off, you dont disturb any of the detergent release catch, hinges etc, the job takes about 15 min! By ipol - Glasgow - 18 April 2009
