Abstract: A household appliance includes a cabinet defining a chamber with an access opening. A door assembly is movably mounted to the cabinet to selectively open and close the access opening. The door assembly includes a door panel defining a front surface and side surfaces. A door panel flange extends inwardly from a rear edge of the side surface. A single-piece console defines a top surface, a front surface, and a rear attachment surface, the top surface substantially perpendicular to the front surface. A rotatable spacer is positioned between the rear attachment surface of the single-piece console and the door panel flange.

Abstract: In one aspect, a device has a controller and a fascia assembly, with a fascia, and a printed circuit board (PCB) mounted to the fascia. The PCB has a plurality of holes, and a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs), wherein one LED is mounted adjacent to each hole. The device also includes a wiring harness coupling the controller to the PCB wherein the LEDs may be energized according to signals received from the controller; and a console adjacent the PCB. The console has a plurality of light reflecting cups arranged therein so that each light reflecting cup covers an LED and the adjacent hole to reflect light from the LEDs through the holes so that the light is visible through the fascia assembly.
