Electric appliance with control-panel assembly

An electric appliance ( 100 ) for items treatment is proposed. The electric appliance comprises a control-panel assembly ( 245 ) for controlling operation of the electric appliance ( 100 ) and ascertaining an operational state thereof. The control-panel assembly ( 245 ) comprises a display assembly ( 255 ) having a display device ( 140 ), and a printed circuit board ( 250 ) having an active surface ( Sa ) for mechanically supporting and electrically connecting the display device ( 140 ), and at least one electrical connector ( 265a,265b,265c,265d ) apt to be fixed to a corresponding terminal region of the printed circuit board ( 250 ) for allowing connection thereof to one or more operative loads of the electric appliance ( 100 ). In the solution according to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the display assembly ( 255 ) comprises a mounting member ( 260 ) for holding the display device ( 140 ) and allowing mounting of the display assembly ( 255 ) on the active surface ( Sa ) of the printed circuit board ( 250 ). The mounting member ( 260 ) comprises at least one recessed portion ( 275a,275b ) for exposing the terminal region thereby allowing reversible fixing thereon of the at least one electrical connector ( 265a,265b,265c,265d ) and hence connection to one or more operative loads of the appliance.
