We remodeled our kitchen but decided to hold off replacing the white appliances.
So – we have a new stainless gas stove/oven. A white electric wall oven. A white dishwasher. A white fridge.
As they need replacing, we’ll get stainless. I can’t justify throwing out a functioning appliance just for the “skin” on it. The cheapskate in me objects. It’s unnecessary waste from an environmental point of view…. It just hits me wrong.
That said – I agree completely with the suggestions to put a new cover panel on the dishwasher. My house in PA had a late 70’s early 80s dishwasher that had panels that could be reversed. When I moved in they were using mustard yellow to match the (less than functional) stove. When I replaced the stove the next year – I swapped the panel for the white one. (This was the mid-90’s so I didn’t get a stainless stove… just plain old white.)
I would not be surprised if there isn’t a panel pre-made for it. Do a search on the model # parts list to see.
