ABSTRACT:
An appliance with an internal working space has a door to provide access to the working space. A control panel is operatively mounted on the appliance. A seal mounted on the door sealingly engages with an upright wall on the control panel when the door is closed to prevent migration of moisture toward the components of the control panel. The door also includes a sloped inner wall terminating in a lip, which directs moisture away from the seal and control panel components
