Abstract
A household appliance includes a cabinet defining a chamber with an access opening. A door assembly is movably mounted to the cabinet to selectively open and close the access opening. The door assembly includes a door panel defining a front surface and side surfaces. A door panel flange extends inwardly from a rear edge of the side surface. A single-piece console defines a top surface, a front surface, and a rear attachment surface, the top surface substantially perpendicular to the front surface. A rotatable spacer is positioned between the rear attachment surface of the single-piece console and the door panel flange.
