Abstract
A dishwasher door includes an outer panel assembly which is quickly, easily and removably mounted on an inner door assembly. The outer panel assembly includes fasteners with rearwardly extending enlarged heads adapted to extend through key slots in the inner door assembly so as to mount the outer panel assembly onto the inner door assembly. Additional fasteners may be utilized to further secure the outer assembly to the inner assembly. Access to the inner cavity of the door is unnecessary for mounting or removing the outer panel assembly to the inner door assembly.
