Abstract: An appliance switch provides contacts protected within a housing that may fit coaxially within and behind a pushbutton of the switch. The pushbutton includes a rearwardly extending arm that actuates an operator extending from a rear edge of the switch as installed avoiding a water path into the contact assembly.

Abstract: A humidity reducing vent for a washing appliance such as a dishwasher or washing machine employs a jet pumping action allowing a single electric blower to move and mix humid air exhausted from the washing appliance washing chamber and external dry air streams together prior to discharge so as to reduce condensation outside of the washing appliance.

Abstract: A latch for a washing machine (10) or other appliance provides two interengaging elements on a lid (12) and housing (21) each having a magnet oriented for mutual repulsion. Proper repulsion of the magnets is necessary to signal that the (12) lid is properly closed such as may be used to determine if the appliance may be locked and safely operated, for example, in a clothes spinning mode.

Abstract translation: 用于洗衣机（10）或其他器具的闩锁在盖子（12）和壳体（21）上提供两个相互接合的元件，每个具有导向以相互排斥的磁体。 必须正确排斥磁体，以表明（12）盖正确关闭，例如可用于确定设备是否可以被锁定并安全地操作，例如以衣服纺纱模式。

Abstract: A motorized appliance latch provides for a spring-biased strike grip that can be engaged and disengaged from the strike with low force but then locked in a close position during closing of the door to allow the strike to be retained against countervailing gasket compression forces. In this way, an arbitrarily low force may be required by the consumer to close or open the door when the door is unsealed by the motor.

Abstract translation: 电动器具闩锁提供弹簧偏压的打击把手，其可以以低的力接合和脱离罢工，然后在关闭门时被锁定在关闭位置，以允许罢工被抵抗抵消衬垫压缩力。 以这种方式，当门被电动机开封时，消费者可能需要任意低的力来关闭或打开门。
