Abstract
An appliance backsplash assembly includes an appliance housing with a top member. A control housing assembly includes a rear wall and a pair of end caps mounted adjacent the rear portion of the top member. The control housing also includes a control panel assembly with a mounting plate and a cover. The mounting plate has tabs spaced across its bottom edge with slots therein. The cover includes tabs spaced apart across its bottom edge and received in the slots in the mounting plate tabs. The mounting plate tabs are received slots in the rear portion of the top member so that the mounting plate can be pivoted to a position exposing one of its faces. Controls are mounted to the mounting plate through that face to be removable when that face is exposed.
