ABSTRACT:
A dishwasher control panel assembly includes an escutcheon which supports various controls. A switch mechanism is mounted on the inside of the escutcheon and the push buttons extend through a slot in the escutcheon. A liner overlies the outside of the escutcheon and the push buttons extend through a corresponding slot in the liner. A thin, flexible cover overlies the liner and has an outwardly projecting touch pad aligned with each push button. In their extended positions the push buttons bias the touch pads outwardly and the cover is sufficiently flexible for the touch pads to move inwardly enough to depress the push buttons.
