A household appliance has a cabinet (12) with working operable elements of the appliance (10). A control console (14) for the appliance (10) is associated with the cabinet (12). A human mechanical interface (20), supplying information to an user, is associated with the control console (14). The interface (20) moves with respect to the control console (14) to a desired viewing zone for the user. The interface (20) has a bezel (24) to hold the interface (20). The bezel (24) is rotatable with respect to the console (14). A rotary damper (28) is coupled with bezel (24) rotating the bezel (24). Activation of the rotary damper (28) enables the bezel (24) and interface (20) to rotate to one or more viewing zones.

Provided is a drum washing machine, including: an outer tank, configured in a shell; a drum, configured in the outer tank and capable of rotating by using a horizontal shaft or an inclination shaft inclining relative to a horizontal direction as a center; a rotating body, configured at a rear part of the drum and having protruding parts in contact with washings on a surface of the rotating body; a driving part, capable of operating in a first drying form and a second driving form, wherein the first driving form refers to a driving form which enables the drum and the rotating body to rotate at different rotating speeds, and the second driving form refers to a driving form which enables the drum and the rotating body to rotate integrally at the same rotating speed; and a control part.

A laundry treating apparatus is described. The laundry treating apparatus includes a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB). The laundry treating apparatus further includes a light guide that includes an inner wall and an outer wall and ribs located between the inner wall and the outer wall, the ribs defining cells that are configured to accommodate the plurality of LEDs. The laundry treating apparatus further includes a window that is configured to allow light emitted from the plurality of LEDs to pass through. Each rib includes a ridge portion that decreases in thickness toward the window and is pointed toward the window.

A laundry treatment device (100) includes a casing (2) housing a laundry treatment chamber (12) and including a front wall (4) defining an outward-facing continuous-wall front surface (4a), the front wall (4) having a laundry opening (3a) to load and/or unload said laundry treatment chamber (12), a panel aperture (15) and a drawer aperture (60). The panel aperture (15) and the drawer aperture (60) are separated one from the other by a crosspiece (66). The crosspiece has an outward-facing crosspiece front surface (66a). A control panel assembly (1) is provided for controlling operation of the laundry treatment device (100). The control panel assembly (1) includes an outer dashboard (11) which is structured to be coupled to the front wall (4) at the panel aperture (15) and to be operated by a user. A drawer (63) is provided as well as a drawer seat (61) to house the drawer (63). The drawer seat is fixed or fixable to the front wall (4) at the drawer aperture (60) so that the drawer (63) is coupled in a retractable manner to the front wall (4). Outer dashboard (11) and/or the drawer seat (61) includes a cover surface (101a) located externally to the casing (2) in front of the crosspiece front surface (66a), so as to cover the latter when the laundry treatment device (100) is in an assembled configuration.
