ABSTRACT:
A dishwasher door includes a molded plastic control console and a molded plastic inner door that are secured to and interlocked on a metal frame to provide torsional rigidity and strength in the upper portion of the dishwasher door. The resultant torsional rigidity and strength in the upper portion of the dishwasher door improves the perceived quality of the door when open and ensures proper registration of the dishwasher door latch when the dishwasher door is closed. The console includes an integrally molded boss configured to receive and latch with an integrally molded projection of the inner door, thereby maintaining the console and inner door in an interlocked relationship. The console also includes a pair of spaced-apart resilient locking tabs for retaining the console in secure engagement with the metal frame. The console, frame and inner door are assembled in a single direction by placing the metal frame over and in engagement with the console, and, thereafter, by securing the inner door to the interconnected console and frame.
