A household appliance is provided having a cooktop with a control housing disposed at an outer peripheral edge of the cooktop. A control panel of the control housing is configured to allow a user to control the cooktop and is least partially housed within the control housing. A support member is interposed at least partially between the cooktop and the control housing and includes a gutter adapted to direct fluids from the cooktop away from electrical or electronic elements housed within the control housing, such as the control panel. The support member can be coupled to or otherwise support the control housing, such as to assure appropriate alignment thereof, such as for automated assembly. The support member further can be hidden from view of a user beneath respective upper surfaces of the control housing and the cooktop, allowing these upper surfaces to lie co-planarly, providing a desirable aesthetic.
