Abstract

An appliance is provided with trim about at least a portion of the periphery of its door as well as a cabinet forming a compartment which the door encloses. The trim on the door provides a flush appearance for the appliance while providing adjustability of the door with respect to the cabinet to satisfy gasket spacing requirements therebetween. The door, therefore, may be adjusted without affecting the flush appearance of the appliance created by the trim of the door.
