Abstract
A door assembly for providing selective access to a chamber of an appliance includes a plurality of frame members that are joined quickly and easily using a plurality of interlocking joints. Specifically, a first frame member defines an alignment recess that is defined at least in part by a front locating surface and is configured for receiving a locking protrusion defined on a second frame member. A mechanical fastener urges the second frame member toward the first frame member such that a front seating face of the locking protrusion engages the front locating surface, thereby aligning a front and/or side of the second frame member such that it is flush with the first frame member.
