An operable panel for an appliance includes a top panel that defines a hinge receptacle. A lid includes a hinge housing. A hinge is disposed within the hinge housing and extends between the lid and the top panel. A retainer includes a cap and a resilient portion. The retainer partially surrounds the hinge and the cap encloses the hinge housing. The resilient portion of the retainer biases the hinge toward the cap and the hinge receptacle.

A laundry treating apparatus may include a main body having a laundry inlet port disposed at a front surface thereof and configured to receive laundry through the laundry inlet port, and a door rotatably coupled to a front surface of the main body to open and close the laundry inlet port. The door may include an outer frame provided with an opening and facing an outside of the main body; a front glass coupled to a front surface of the outer frame to cover the opening; an inner frame coupled to a rear surface of the outer frame and facing an inside of the main body; and a plurality of hooks that extends from each of the outer frame and the inner frame to fasten the outer frame and the inner frame, thereby enhancing a fastening force between the outer frame and the inner frame.

A door hinge assembly includes a hinge plate and a mounting shaft. The hinge plate includes a mounting plate, a reinforcing plate, and a connecting hook. The reinforcing plate and the connecting hook are each assembled on the mounting plate. The connecting hook is pivotally connected to the mounting shaft. The door hinge assembly further includes a positioning member, and the positioning member is configured to be capable of positioning the mounting plate and/or the reinforcing plate to a cabinet or a door. By providing the positioning member capable of positioning the hinge plate to the cabinet or the door, when the hinge plate is mounted, the hinge plate may first be positioned to the cabinet or the door by the positioning member, and then the hinge plate is tightened by a fastener, so that the assembly efficiency of the door hinge assembly may be increased.

A washing machine includes a cabinet defining a lateral direction, a transverse direction, and a vertical direction. The lateral, transverse, and vertical directions are mutually orthogonal. The washing machine appliance also includes a top panel on the cabinet that defines an opening. A wash chamber is defined within the cabinet below the opening of the top panel. The washing machine appliance also includes a lid which is rotatable through a plane defined by the transverse direction and the vertical direction between a closed position to sealingly enclose the wash chamber and an open position to permit access to the wash chamber. A hinge rotatably connects the lid to the top panel. The hinge defines a compound pivot axis. The lid rotates relative to the top panel about the compound pivot axis.

A laundry treating appliance for treating laundry items according to an automatic cycle of operation can include a cabinet defining an interior and having a top panel that at least partially defines an access opening to the interior. A lid is rotatable between a closed position and an opened position to selectively open or close the access opening. At least one hinge assembly couples the top panel with the lid. The at least one hinge assembly can include a hinge housing coupled to the top panel. A cam is received within the hinge housing and coupled to the lid. A snubber housing is coupled to the hinge housing and has a damper receiving portion. A damper is at least partially received within the damper receiving portion.

A fabric treatment machine has a cabinet housing. A lid enables access inside the cabinet. Fabric treatment components such as a drum are positioned inside the cabinet housing. A panel on the cabinet housing includes an opening to receive the lid. At least one hinge spacer couples with the panel to receive a shaft of a slow close hinge on the lid. The at least one hinge spacer includes a socket portion and a flange portion. The socket portion inserts into an aperture in the panel. The socket portion includes a bore with at least one flat side to receive a mating shaft from the slow closing hinge. The hinge shaft has at least one flat surface. The flange portion covers the panel around the socket.

A laundry appliance includes a cabinet and a door rotatably coupled to the cabinet. The door is operable between an opened position and a closed position. A door opening assembly is coupled to one of the cabinet and the door. The door opening assembly includes a motor coupled to a cam. The cam is operably coupled to an actuator arm.

Disclosed is a washing machine having an improved wire connection structure for electrically connecting electrical components. The washing machine includes a cabinet which has a first electrical component, forms an exterior, and has an opening through which laundry is inserted; a door provided with a second electrical component, and configured to open and close the opening; a wire which electrically connects the first electrical component and the second electrical component; and a hinge which has a wire guide portion for coupling the door to the cabinet so as to be rotatable about a rotating axis and for guiding the wire.

A laundry treating appliance for treating laundry items according to an automatic cycle of operation can include a cabinet defining an interior and having a top panel that at least partially defines an access opening to the interior. A lid is rotatable between a closed position and an opened position to selectively open or close the access opening. At least one hinge assembly couples the top panel with the lid. The at least one hinge assembly can include a hinge housing coupled to the top panel. A cam is received within the hinge housing and coupled to the lid. A snubber housing is coupled to the hinge housing and has a damper receiving portion. A damper is at least partially received within the damper receiving portion.

A home appliance has a door capable of being opened and closed in opposite directions. The home appliance includes a main body having an inner space and a door rotatably installed on the right or left side of the main body to open and close the inner space. A first door opening/closing system is provided on the right sides of the main body and the door to be involved in a right opening of the door. A second door opening/closing system is provided on the left sides of the main body and the door to be involved in a left opening of the door. A locking member is disposed to be slidable in a left-right direction between the first door opening/closing system and the second door opening/closing system.
