If you've been looking to upgrade your kitchen, particularly you appliances, you might consider changing the panels on your appliances. As a handyman, I have replaced panels and it really makes a difference. It is a quick job and it is cheaper than buying new appliances, assuming your current appliances are in good shape. You can change the panels in your dishwasher and refrigerator for a simple color change, or install different styles, such as wood panels to match cabinet doors.
The manufacturer of your appliances may carry panel kits for this or you may have to buy from suppliers. You must provide your model number and dimensions for them. Some cabinet manufacturers may also carry panels, or at least create one for you based on your measurements. You will want to let them know if the door panel has a hinge on the right or left side of it.
Once you have a suitable panel, it is a matter of unscrewing the retaining pieces, pulling out the old panel and installing the new one. The dishwasher will have a base panel and a larger main panel underneath the controls. The refrigerator will have various configurations, whether top and bottom or side-by-side.
