The dishwasher does not come with a front panel as this is panel ready. You have to purchase a custom panel to put onto the dishwasher panel for the purpose of matching your kitchen cabinets.

This item is on closeout, and may not be available in your area. There are no dishwashers that are panel ready currently available.
