Abstract
A control housing for an appliance includes a rear wall and a pair of end caps extending forward from the ends of the rear wall. A control panel assembly extends between the end caps forward of the rear wall. The panel assembly includes a cover plate with a planar body having a perpendicularly projecting rim extending along its top, bottom and ends. The assembly also includes a control mounting plate with a planar body. The mounting plate is shorter than the cover member. The plates are assembled in overlying relationship with the mounting plate positioned within the cover plate rim. A pair of bridging members are connected to the ends of the mounting plate and fit closely within the end portions of the cover plate.
