Washer and/or drying machine

Door of washing and/or drying machine

To illuminate a structurewith informational content on componentsof a filling opening in a laundry appliance, particularly a washing machine or a washer/dryer, components, which are made of a transparent or translucent material, have a pot-shaped laundry deflectorand a window coverlying at least approximately flush with the front faceof the laundry appliance. Componentsbear letteringand/or a symbol to be illuminated. Light-emitting elementsare arranged opposite lateral edge facesof at least one of the components, the light beamsemitted by said elements being directed onto the edge faces. The letteringor the symbol consists of a three-dimensional structurein the material with an at least microscopically small extension into the material. To specify a structural illumination in which a lower number of light sources is adequate, one of the components, which is located at least approximately flush with the front faceof the laundry appliance and which is provided with the structure, has a light-conducting elementextending inwards away from the flush line, the light inlet areaof which element extends as an edge face to the other componentand is guided into the radiation range of the light-emitting element
