I need to replace the On/Off Power button & switch which is located on the top edge of the door. What is the correct method to disassemble the door to replace the button and switch? I would rather not remove the inside panel if I don't have to. Thanks for your help. Cheers.

the inside panel does not come off easy the ouside panel comes off and should be able to access the switch from the front and also bosch like to use a lot of clips so take time and look at it good

I have the same problem with the power switch. I took off the plastic cover for the controls and the outside panel. I see the switch and was able to release it from the mounting..However I don't see how to get it out of the space it is in. It has a rod going to the center door latch and a plunger that pushes the on/off switch. there must be some trick to remove the switch from the machine to replace it. If you know how please email me at kidcarr.jr@verizon.net Thank you...

many different models and several different procedures... Integrated models with controls on the top are different from d/w's with controls on the front ... definitely need torx t-20 screwdriver... door panel comes off readily easy (3 lowest screws, on either side starting closest to the hinge , working your way up ... after that it is just a matter of taking control panel off , manipulate metal tab to remove on/off switch ...
