Abstract: A cabinet dryer door includes a truss attached to the door to establish seal compression for adequate sealing of the door against the drying cabinet. The inner door has spacers molded into the inner door. The truss cooperates with the spacers to bias the door against the seal. The drying cabinet may utilize a pair of doors with at least one having a truss that establishes a seal compression in both of the doors. The truss is joined to the inner door by a screw located in the center of the truss. The method has the step securing a truss member to the door and curving the door to create a biasing force.

Abstract: A cabinet with a door is provided with an improved hinge. The hinge includes a door leaf mounted within the door, a cabinet leaf mounted on an exterior portion of the cabinet and intermediate leaf extending between the door leaf and the cabinet leaf. The intermediate leaf includes a curved arm having one end connected to the door leaf by a first end and an opposite end connected to the cabinet leaf by a second pin. The first and second pins define pivot points for the hinge, which allow the door to open approximately 270° from the closed position. In a door with a seal, the order of hinge leaf operation is controlled to minimize damage and wear to the seal.

Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a cabinet, a drying chamber, a door assembly, a blower assembly and an air passage for directing an airflow to the drying chamber. A media holder is removably positioned in the air passage to suspend a volatilizable media in the path of the airflow. The media holder includes a main body having rear wall formed from a latticework frame, an interior for receiving the volatilizable material, and a door member. The door member is also formed from a latticework frame. With this arrangement, both the rear wall and door member include a plurality of openings to allow an airflow to carry a fragrance or other substance from the volatilizable material through the air passage to treat clothes placed in the drying chamber.

Abstract: An appliance with an internal working space has a door to provide access to the working space. A control panel is operatively mounted on the appliance. A seal mounted on the door sealingly engages with an upright wall on the control panel when the door is closed to prevent migration of moisture toward the components of the control panel.
