An electric appliance (100) for items treatment is proposed. The electric appliance comprises a control-panel assembly (245) for controlling operation of the electric appliance (100) and ascertaining an operational state thereof. The control- panel assembly (245) comprises a display assembly (255) having a display device (140), and a printed circuit board (250) having an active surface (Sa) for mechanically supporting and electrically connecting the display device (140), and at least one electrical connector (265a,265b,265c,265d) apt to be fixed to a corresponding terminal region of the printed circuit board (250) for allowing connection thereof to one or more operative loads of the electric appliance (100). In the solution according to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the display assembly (255) comprises a mounting member (260) for holding the display device (140) and allowing mounting of the display assembly (255) on the active surface (Sa) of the printed circuit board (250). The mounting member (260) comprises at least one recessed portion (275a, 275b) for exposing the terminal region thereby allowing reversible fixing thereon of the at least one electrical connector (265a, 265b, 265c, 265d) and hence connection to one or more operative loads of the appliance.
Description
technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to electrical appliances for domestic and professional use, such as front loading / top loading washing machines, washing / drying machines, dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, ovens. More particularly, the present invention relates to control panel assemblies for these appliances. technical background [0002] Every household and professional appliance (hereinafter referred to as an appliance for brevity)—for example, washing machines, washer / dryers, dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, ovens—generally consists of a roughly parallelepiped-shaped enclosure, the The cabinet encloses an internal compartment for holding items to be processed (e.g., to be washed and / or dried, to be cooled, to be heated); an access door for entering and exiting the internal compartment to allow access by the user carry out loading / unloading operations of items; and a manually operable instrument panel (typically comprising control members...
