Compatible models aren't on file. Check your parts list, or send the model and product code through the parts enquiry form.

When the top drawer front needs replacing

The upper door kit makes up the front of the top drawer on a double DishDrawer. Stainless fronts can be dented by a knock, scratched beyond polishing, or marked by water and detergent creeping in at the edges. A damaged front may also stop the drawer closing flush with the lower one and the kitchen cabinetry. Fitting a new front restores the finish and helps both drawers sit evenly. If the drawer is hard to close, check the runners and slides too, as they can cause similar alignment issues.

Fitting the upper door kit

Switch off at the wall before removing anything from the drawer. Open the top drawer and take out the rack for access. Work out which parts move across from the old front, such as trims, seals or wiring, and photograph them first. Mount the new door kit, then adjust it until the gaps are even with the lower drawer and the benchtop, and check the drawer opens and shuts smoothly.

Questions about this part

Is there a version with the controls built in?

Yes, a separate upper door kit with the user interface is listed under a different number. The description for 519462 doesn't include the UI, so check whether your top drawer front carries the controls, and send your model and product code if unsure.
