  • Publication number: 20210141410
    Abstract: A knob assembly for operating a heating element for cooking food includes a user-engageable knob having a light guide. The knob assembly also includes a first housing and a second housing. The first housing encloses a first switch adapted to operate the heating element, and the second housing encloses a light switch and a light source. The light switch is adapted to operate the light source to illuminate the knob. A rotatable stem is operatively coupled to the first switch, the light switch, and the knob. The knob is thus adapted to operate the first switch and the light switch via rotation thereof. The first housing is longitudinally stacked behind and attached to the second housing such that the stem extends at least partially through the first housing and the second housing. The knob is affixed to an end of the stem that protrudes forward from the second housing.

  • Patent number: 10863882
    Abstract: An apparatus for removing moisture as liquid from moisture-laden air in an appliance is provided. The apparatus includes a body that defines a channel extending from a first position to a second position and a serpentine flow path between the first position and the second position that operates to redirect the moisture-laden air to remove the liquid from the moisture-laden air. The body includes an opening at the serpentine flow path that is closed when the apparatus is secured to the wall of the appliance. In operation, the body cooperates with the wall to cause the moisture-laden air entering the channel at the first position through an inlet opening in the wall to pass into the serpentine flow path to remove the liquid from the moisture-laden air before the liquid exits the channel at the second position through an outlet opening in the wall.
