Whirlpool dishwasher front panel
 

We have a built-in Whirlpool Quiet Wash Series dishwasher. The panel
that covers the door and the rubber strip that held it in place fell
off. We have been unable to get the strip and panel to stay back on.
The rubber strip has foam backing. Thanks for any advice.

Get out parts list, order new, apply per instructions.

Hi,

The parts breakdowns might help...

Appears #20 pushes/clips into #26 to hold the panal in place.

There is an "Dishwasher door panel channel retainer kit" for your
model#.

Thanks for finding the information for me. The "retainer kit" looks
like parts #20 & 26 plus some kind of adhesive. It seems I already have
the parts and perhaps just need the correct adhesive to reattach the
door panel. What kind of adhesive would do the best job? Is it as
simple as I am describing or should I order the "retainer kit" for $40?

Hi,

It seems I already have
the parts and perhaps just need the correct adhesive to reattach the
door panel.

*As long* as they are intact/not cracked or broken and will hold ok,
they likely can be reused. New kit -may- be something updated, might
call them and ask about that.

What kind of adhesive would do the best job?

A water and higher temp adhesive should do fine...

Outside the d/w the above is fine, inside we use something food
grade/safe!

Thanks again, Jeff. Very kind of you to help me with your advice. I
left an email message at the Whirlpool website asking their opinion of
whether I need new parts or not. With their help and yours, I should be
able to make the repair. Mike
