Does anybody know where to get the front panels? Our "new" one has cabinet wood to match the seller's cabinets and we want to take it back to its former glory. How hard would it be to make?

not hard to do!

 Since you already have cabinet faces on it already, it means you have the varifront pack to enable you to put whatever panels you want on the front.

Here are the dimensions for the panels so you don't have to go searching for them:
Top Panel: 23-9/16 x 18-13/16"
Bottom panel: 23-11/16 x 6-5/8 "

You can get the plain galvanized panels and cut them at Lowes or Home Depot and have a body shop paint them any color you want or go to a metal fabricator who does stainless steel work make up a stainless set for you. Make sure if you go the stainless route, that the grain on the stainless matches on the top and bottom.

Thank you very much, I've never seen the older dishwashers with cabinet facing on them, just the black, white, whatever colors from the factory. Was there any insulation behind the door panel, or was it just the panel on there? I was thinking about 1/8 inch metal with dynamat behind it
