Abstract

A reversible control console that can be mounted in alternate orientations that are substantially inverted from each other so as to provide product differentiation using universal parts. An integrally molded plastic hood has a control mounting panel and ends that have first and second alternate support edges. When the hood is mounted on the respective first edges, the mounting panel has a particular orientation and slope with respect to the top of the appliance. When the hood is mounted in the alternate position on the respective second edges, the mounting panel has a different orientation and slope with respect to the top panel. The respective orientations of the control mounting panel are inverted or substantially inverted from each other. In both mounting orientations, screw holes on the hood align with respective screw holes on the appliance top panel and the console rear panel. The hood also has ribs with projections that interlock with the rear panel.
