ABSTRACT:
A wire harness protector for use in an appliance. The wire harness protector consists of two members. A first member is secured to the door so as to pivot therewith. A second member is also secured to the door but remains stationary when the door is pivoted. Thus, when the door is pivoted, the second member is fixed relative to the door support structure and the first member pivots with the door. Both the first member and the second member include conduits which are aligned with the hinge axis of the door. Each of the first and second members forms an enclosure for enclosing and routing the wire harness. The conduits are formed by U-shaped channels and covers therefor. The covers are held in place by means of locking snaps. The entire first and second members may each be formed in a single integral molding process from a thermosplastic material such as a fire retardant polypropylene. In an alternative embodiment, the first member may be formed of a shallow U-shaped channel and the wire harness may be secured inside the channel by means of adhesive tape so that the wires are secured in predetermined positions within the U-shaped channel.
