What is the total clearance dimension needed in front of the dishwasher for it to open fully (with the panel on)?

Hi there, Ckay! Thank you for taking the time to send us your inquiry. ​To ensure your Frigidaire 24" Panel Ready Built-In Dishwasher (model FDSR4501AP) opens fully with the panel attached, you'll need to account for the door's depth, including the custom panel. The dishwasher's depth without the panel is approximately 24.25 inches (61.6 cm). The custom panel adds between 5/8" to 7/8" (1.6 cm to 2.2 cm) to the total depth. Therefore, the combined depth with the panel ranges from approximately 24.875 inches (63.2 cm) to 25.125 inches (63.7 cm). To allow the door to open fully without obstruction, it's recommended to have at least 26 inches (66 cm) of clearance in front of the dishwasher. This ensures sufficient space for the door to swing open completely, even with the custom panel attached. - Maico
