In reply to LeAnne Richards. I ended up going to a specialty store for custom appliances, and was able to find another Kitchen Aid dishwasher that still fit my panel. Good luck! I feel your pain!

I know the is an old blog post, but I am in the same predicament now. My Bosch died and I need to purchase a new dishwasher hopefully that will fit the same panel. What did you end up doing? Did your panel from your Kitchenaid fit? My Bosch is obviously so old, I cannot even find the dimensions online (it was already in when I bought the home)

Jenny….our dishwasher recently went to the recycling center….may it rest in peace….we researched and researched (yes consumer reports too)….we narrowed it down to two brands (I knew I also wanted it to look good…to me)….then I did the only thing I could do…..call my appliance repair man who has NEVER, EVER let me down. I told him I was down to Bosch and GE….he said hands down Bosch….Consumer reports was clear….don't go cheap and dont go high end…go midrange…they are the workhorses that are reliable and tried and true. So that is what I did….Bosch mid range…..I couldn't be happier….almost 2 months later…I would buy it again and again. Now I am researching refriderators…know what my repair guy said>>>>>Whirlpool…best compressors! Good Luck! Andrea

I had a Bosch in our previous house and I was never happy with it. It didn't clean well and it wasn't nearly as quiet as it was supposed to be. I now have an Asko (paneled) and I love it. I got it at Custom Distributors in Fairfield and it was a floor model so I got it for a great price. I have never had any issues, it cleans great and it's super quiet. Bummer about your dishwasher. I had an issue with my dryer last week and I hesitated having it repaired. It ended up not being a big deal, but being without a dryer for a few days was tough.

Fabulous kitchens jenny!!!
Sorry about your dishwasher….I don't think I ever told you about our dishwasher. Remember that christmas party we had with 70 people, yes it broke that night…..the guy came out the week before christmas to fix it and had to order the pump….another party, no dishwasher…..Changed out the pump the following week, still didn't work..4 weeks no dishwasher, i was ready to fill up the dishwasher drawers and through them in my neighors washer ;)It is all fixed now 🙂
Good luck!

Our neighbors had a lot of trouble with their Bosch and it was pricey to have it repaired. When we did a kitchen remodel I had a carpenter make a panel for our refrigerator, we ordered doors to match the cabinets and he constructed a back panel for them to be mounted onto. I'm sure it would be easy with a dw. Great research, btw!! 🙂

I wish I had a custom panel on my dishwasher. Maybe next time we purchase one I will look into getting a d.w. that I can get my cabinet guy to build a panel for. I am sure whatever you choose it will look and work fine.

Our dishwasher, a Bosch, broke yesterday, and I just got home from picking out a new one, a GE this time. Yes, the Bosch was quiet, but we had to repair it several times in the last eight years and it beeped at us every ten minutes for an hour after running a cycle. I don't recommend them. But we'll see how I feel after getting this GE installed. 🙂
