Abstract: A dishwashing appliance may include a cabinet, a tub, a door, a hinge, a spring linkage, and a clevis. The hinge may define a top edge, a bottom edge, and an arched cutout extending upward from the bottom edge. The arched cutout may have an entrance defined at the bottom edge, an apex disposed above the entrance, and an arcuate seat disposed below the apex. The spring linkage may extend from a first end to a second end. The first end may be mounted to the cabinet. The clevis may be disposed at the second end of the spring linkage in selective attachment with the hinge. The clevis may include a rigid leg and a connecting pin extending laterally from the rigid leg. The connecting pin may be received within the arcuate seat. The rigid leg may extend upward above the apex to cover the apex.

Abstract: A control panel for an appliance defines a display direction and includes a console cover defining a display surface and an inner surface, a printed circuit board defining a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface along the display direction, wherein the first surface of the printed circuit board is positioned against the inner surface of the console cover, a retention bracket mounted over the second surface of the printed circuit board to secure the printed circuit board to the console cover, and a resilient member that extends from the retention bracket toward the printed circuit board and is biased against the second surface of the printed circuit board.
