发明名称 MOVABLE CONTROL PANEL TO ALLOW SERVICE ACCESS TO BUILT-IN DOMESTIC APPLIANCE WITHOUT REMOVING APPLIANCE FROM BUILT-IN POSITION
摘要 A domestic appliance and cabinet combination is provided. The combination includes a cabinet having a recess and a domestic appliance positioned in the recess. The appliance has a control panel attached to the appliance body by a control panel movement mechanism; electronic devices electrically connected to the control panel; a stationary element fixed to the appliance body; and an electronics support element on which the electronic devices are mounted, the electronics support element being slidingly attached to the stationary element such that the electronics support element can slide in a direction from the back side to the front side while remaining attached to the stationary element. The electronics support element slides from a retracted position to an extended position when the control panel is in the open position, and the extended position of the electronics support element is a service position in which the electronic devices can be serviced.
