The outer panel, identified as part number 117495162, is compatible with dishwashers manufactured under the brands Electrolux, Gibson, Tappan, and Sears-Kenmore, all affiliated with Frigidaire.
This component serves a dual purpose: it shields the wiring and internal elements located on the dishwasher door while providing the appliance with a refined exterior appearance.
Prior to the installation of this part, ensure the dishwasher is disconnected from its power source by either unplugging it or switching off the circuit breaker. It is advisable to wear work gloves to protect your hands during the procedure.
