Abstract:
The present invention relates to a door for an appliance. The door has a front panel and a rear panel and edges extending between the front panel and rear panel to create an internal cavity between the front panel and the rear panel. A filler material is contained in the internal cavity, and an intermediate material is interposed between a rear surface of the front panel and the filler material. The intermediate material or front panel is adapted to retain the front panel relative to the filler material by a magnetic field and release a portion of the front panel relative to the filler material upon excessive localized deformation of the filler material.
