Abstract
A dehydrator is disclosed that includes a cavity, door and positioning mechanism. The cavity is defined by multiple walls and has an open front that the door covers. The door is movable between a closed position and a fully open position, and the positioning mechanism can stop and maintain the door at any partially open position in between. The positioning mechanism can be part of a door handle that can be used to move the door with one hand. The positioning mechanism can use magnets and the door tracks can be magnetic to hold the door at any desired position. The positioning mechanism can be movable between an engaged position where the magnets are connected to the door tracks, and a disengaged position where they are not connected. The dehydrator handle can include a hinge that moves the positioning mechanism between the engaged and disengaged positions.
