Abstract
The dishwasher door may include a forward door panel, a light source, and an indicator lens. The forward door panel may define an indicator aperture. The light source may be directed downward along a vertical direction. The indicator lens may be spaced apart from the light source along the vertical direction. The indicator lens may extend from a projection surface to a receiving surface. The receiving surface may face the light source to receive a light emission therefrom. The indicator lens may define a projection path directing at least a portion of the light emission through the indicator aperture and from the projection surface.
