Abstract: A method for allowing opening of a first door pane with respect to a second door pane of a multi-pane door assembly of an oven appliance includes receiving, via a controller, one or more safety conditions relating to the oven appliance. The method also includes determining, via the controller, whether the one or more safety conditions correspond to one or more predetermined safety conditions. Further, the method includes allowing, via the controller, opening of the first door pane with respect to the second door pane of the multi-pane door assembly to provide access to a space between the first and second door panes only upon satisfaction of the one or more safety conditions corresponding to the one or more predetermined safety conditions.

Abstract: A multi-pane door assembly for an oven appliance includes a door having first and second door panes. The first door pane is secured to the second door pane at a hinge point and is rotatable with respect to the second door pane between open and closed positions. As such, the door panes define a space therebetween when the first door pane is in the closed position. The door assembly also includes an engagement device for securing the door panes together, a locking mechanism for locking the engagement device, and a controller communicatively coupled to the actuating device. The locking mechanism includes, at least, a locking member and an actuating device. Thus, the controller is configured to receive one or more safety conditions relating to the oven appliance and select whether to engage or disengage the actuating device based on whether the safety condition(s) correspond to the predetermined safety condition(s).

Abstract: A drawer glide includes a main body, the main body including a base which defines an X-axis and a Y-axis perpendicular to the X-axis, and a front face extending from the base along a Z-axis perpendicular to the X-axis and the Y-axis; and a slide extension extending from the base along the Z-axis, the slide extension located at a rear of the base distal the front face. The slide extension extends in an opposite direction along the Z-axis from the front face, and the slide extension defines a hook including a first tab extending along the X-axis and a second tab extending along the Z-axis.

Abstract: A cooktop appliance includes a user interface, a gas burner, and a temperature sensor. A manually adjustable primary control valve is coupled to the gas burner. A secondary control valve is connected in series between the manually adjustable primary control valve and the gas burner. A controller is in communication with the secondary control valve. The controller is configured to adjust the secondary control valve in response to a user-determined set temperature, a temperature measurement from the temperature sensor, and a determined position of the manually adjustable primary control valve.

Abstract: An oven appliance includes a cabinet that defines a chamber. A pair of doors is rotatably mounted to provide selective access to the chamber of the cabinet. The pair of doors is connected with a linkage assembly such that the doors rotate open and closed simultaneously. The linkage assembly includes a spur gear that engages another gear of the linkage assembly. The spur gear can hinder unwanted rotation of the pair of doors or compress the pair of doors against a seal.

Abstract: A cooking appliance is generally provided herein. The cooking appliance may include a cabinet, a top panel, a burner, and a deflection plate. The cabinet may extend in a vertical direction from a top portion to a bottom portion. The cabinet may define a non-heated chamber between the top portion and the bottom portion. The top panel may be positioned at the top portion of the cabinet. The burner may be positioned on the top panel. The deflection plate may extend at a non-orthogonal angle from the top panel at a rear portion of the cabinet. The deflection plate may define a ventilation aperture above the non-heated chamber in fluid communication therewith.

Abstract: An appliance defining a vertical direction includes a door, a catch, and a door assembly. The door defines a cavity accessible through an opening. The catch may be spaced apart from the door along the vertical direction. The door assembly may include a latch assembly and a trigger. The latch assembly may include a latch movable along the vertical direction. The trigger may be coupled to the latch assembly. In addition, the trigger may be movable between a first position and a second position. When the trigger is in the first position, the latch may engage the catch. In contrast, when the trigger is in the second position, the latch may be spaced apart from the catch along the vertical direction.

Abstract: A knob assembly includes a light guide and a control knob that is independently rotatable relative to the light guide. The light guide is positioned at an aperture formed on a surface such that the light guide receives light emitted by a light source positioned below the surface along a vertical direction. The light guide also defines a guide opening, and further includes an opaque and translucent region. The control knob defines a light opening and is rotatably coupled to a stem extending through the guide opening. The control knob is rotatable between a first and second position. In the first position, the light opening is positioned entirely over the opaque region of the light guide along the vertical direction. In the second position, the light opening is positioned entirely over the translucent region of the light guide along the vertical direction. A related cooktop appliance is provided.

Abstract: An oven appliance with a cabinet that defines a chamber for cooking food items is provided. A pair of doors is rotatably mounted to provide selective access to the chamber of the cabinet. The pair of doors is connected with a linkage assembly that simultaneously opens and closes the pair of doors. The linkage includes features for rotating one door of the pair at a first angular velocity and for rotating another of the pair of doors at a second angular velocity. An angular velocity differential between the first angular velocity and the second angular velocity can limit impacting or rubbing between the pair of doors during simultaneous opening and closing of the pair of doors.
