A home appliance comprising:
- a main body having a cavity;
- a door rotatably coupled to a front side of the main body to open and close the cavity;
- a holder moveably mounted to the door and having an accommodation groove with an open upper surface;
- a decorative plate;
- a fixer coupled to the decorative plate and being insertable in a downward direction into the open upper surface of the accommodation groove to be accommodated in the accommodation groove, to thereby mount the decorative plate to the holder so that the decorative plate is disposed on a front surface of the door;
- and
- a wire connected to the holder and the main body so that, with the decorative plate mounted to the holder, rotation of the door varies tension of the wire, which thereby moves the holder, which thereby moves the decorative plate.
