A drawer assembly for an appliance includes a drawer front for providing selective access to the drawer recess, the drawer front being rotatable between an open position and a closed position, a slide operably coupling the drawer front to the cabinet, the slide including a catch bar, an electronic input provided on the drawer front, the electronic input configured to transmit an input signal, and a latch provided in the drawer front, the latch being operably coupled with the electronic input and selectively engaged with the catch bar based on the input signal.

A face/leaf structure can transform functions to selectively expand the usable area of a cabinet countertop or drawer without compromise to the cabinet's other functions. A drawer front is movably attached to a drawer to be either in a normal cosmetic vertical position or in a horizontal position cantilevered from the drawer. The structure may be arranged so that the leaf can be deployed with a single action. The leaf may rise to a same level as the countertop or selectively add exposed and usable horizontal space at a drawer front. Further the leaf can be pulled away from the main surface along with the drawer. This allows usable access to the drawer without stowing the leaf.

A pullout cage apparatus is provided which is comprised of a base frame removably mounted to a pair of robust drawer slides. The drawer slides are coupled to each other by a pair of cross braces, which are in turn mounted to the base of a cabinet frame. A retainer cage is rigidly mounted to the base frame. The retainer cage supports a plurality of adjustment brackets, which allow adjustment of a face plate.

A household appliance includes a connection mechanism fixing a door and a main body. The connection mechanism includes first and second components fixed by first and second fixing mechanisms. The first mechanism includes a first fixing member, a first hole on the first component and a second hole on the second component. The second mechanism includes a second fixing member, third holes elongated in a second direction at intervals on the first component and fourth holes at intervals in a first direction on the second component. When the second fixing member passes through a third hole and a fourth hole, the third and fourth holes define a distance between centers of remaining third holes and centers of remaining fourth holes in the first direction. The fourth holes adjust positions relative to the third holes in the second direction, causing the first and second components to relatively rotate.
