This dishwasher front panel by VidaXL, model Kalmar, measures 60 x 1.5 x 67 cm and is designed to replace or cover the door of a built-in dishwasher. Finished in a reclaimed wood look, the panel creates a coordinated appearance with kitchen cabinets by visually integrating the dishwasher into surrounding furniture. The slim profile is suitable for standard 60 cm dishwasher openings and provides a decorative exterior while concealing the appliance.
Advantages
The Kalmar dishwasher panel offers a ready-made decorative solution to achieve a seamless kitchen look without altering cabinet structures. Its reclaimed wood effect delivers a textured, natural appearance that complements various interior styles, from rustic to modern-industrial. The panel’s dimensions match common built-in dishwasher sizes, allowing straightforward replacement or installation to cover an existing dishwasher door.
Suitable for
- Replacing a damaged or outdated built-in dishwasher front to match kitchen cabinetry
- Concealing a standard 60 cm built-in dishwasher for a flush integrated look
- Coordinating appliances with reclaimed wood or rustic-style kitchen furniture

How to use
Measure your dishwasher door and mounting points to confirm compatibility with the panel dimensions before installation. Remove the existing dishwasher door or front according to the appliance manufacturer’s instructions. Align the VidaXL Kalmar panel to the dishwasher door frame and secure it using the mounting holes or brackets provided by your dishwasher model; if necessary, use appropriate screws or adapters recommended for appliance panels. Ensure the panel is level and that hinges and handles are reattached or adjusted to allow full door operation. Follow safety precautions when working with heavy panels and electrical appliances.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm your dishwasher accepts an external front panel and that width and height match 60 x 67 cm requirements
- Check hinge positions, mounting hole pattern and required panel thickness compatibility
- Verify that the reclaimed wood finish matches existing cabinetry tones you plan to pair it with
Usage recommendations
For best results, test-fit the panel prior to permanent attachment and use corrosion-resistant fixings in kitchen environments. Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the reclaimed wood appearance. If in doubt about mounting compatibility, consult the dishwasher manufacturer or a qualified fitter to ensure secure and safe installation.
