Abstract
A cooking appliance includes a body that defines a cooking chamber therein, a door rotatably connected to the body and configured to open and close at least a portion of the cooking chamber, a hinge mechanism that rotatably connects the door to the body, and a control device disposed in the door. The control device includes a control housing that is configured to accommodate one or more components of the control device and that includes a first sidewall that defines an air inlet, and a second sidewall that defines an air outlet, an inlet-side cooling fan disposed at a first position of the control housing closer to the air inlet than the air outlet, and an outlet-side cooling fan disposed at a second position of the control housing closer to the air outlet than the air inlet.
