ABSTRACT:
An electrical component protective cover for an appliance has an upper portion and a lower panel portion. The upper portion forms a cavity within a housing having a plurality of walls, which form a perimeter around the electrical component. At least one vent in at least one sidewall of the housing vents air and enables moisture to escape from the interior of the housing. A strip of barrier material is positioned between an edge of the perimeter of the housing and the appliance, the barrier material being a narrow piece of a resilient caulk material to impede liquid or moisture from entering the interior of the housing. The protective cover attaches to the electrical component using attachment receptacles such as female tab recesses. The lower portion has an aperture intermediate the upper portion and the lower portion to provide electrical component access through the cover without removing the cover.
