A domestic appliance may include a cabinet, a door, a hinge assembly, and a conductor assembly. The cabinet may define an internal chamber. The door may be movable relative to the cabinet between an open position and a closed position. The hinge assembly may rotatably secure the door to the cabinet. The conductor assembly may electrically connect the door to the cabinet. The conductor assembly may include a cabinet-side (CS) contact joined to the cabinet, a door-side (DS) contact joined to the door, and a first plate arm extending between the CS contact and the DS contact in electrical communication therewith. The first plate arm may be pivotable about a first conductor axis relative to the CS contact and a second conductor axis relative to the DS contact.
