Abstract: A household appliance (2) has a frontal panel (48) with a front side (62) facing the outside of the appliance (2) in an assembled state and a rear side (64) opposite to the front side (62) facing the interior of the appliance (2) in an assembled state and with an aperture (58). The appliance further has a cover element (60) covering the aperture (58) on the front side (62), and a receptacle (78) arranged on the rear side (64) behind the aperture (58). The receptacle (78) has a sealing element (86) which in an assembled state is in contact with the covering element (60), thereby providing a sealed space between the cover element (60) and the sealing element (86).

Abstract: The control-panel assembly (1) for household appliances and the like, includes: an outer dashboard (2), and at least one rigid protecting box (4). The outer dashboard (2) is provided with at least one protruding appendix (7) that sticks out of its rear face (2r) and that has a coupling ridge (7a) provided with a number of consecutive coupling segments (7b) that are tilted relative to one another. The protecting box (4) is provided with a corresponding cap appendix (8) dimensioned for resting onto the top of the protruding appendix (7), and which has at least one coupling portion (8a) which is shaped for stably matching with any one of the consecutive coupling segments (7b) of the coupling ridge (7a) of the protruding appendix (7). This allows a discrete adjustment of the spatial orientation of the protecting box (4) with respect to the rear face (2r) of the outer dashboard (2).

Abstract: A control-panel assembly (1) for household appliances and the like, includes: a substantially shell-shaped, outer dashboard (2), an internal printed circuit board (3), and at least one substantially basin-shaped, rigid protecting box (4). The outer dashboard (2) is provided with at least one protruding appendix (7) that sticks out of the rear face (2r) of the outer dashboard (2) and has, on its top, a coupling ridge (7a) which is provided with a number of consecutive coupling segments (7b) that are tilted relative to one another and lay substantially on a same reference laying plane (p).
