Abstract
An oven range appliance including a chamber liner defining a cooking chamber, as well as a cabinet enclosing the chamber liner in cooking chamber, is provided. The cabinet includes a side panel positioned at a first side of the cabinet defining a cooling channel between the chamber liner and the side panel of the cabinet. A diverter panel is provided extending from the side panel towards the chamber liner. The diverter panel blocks a flow of cooling air from the cooling channel at a location proximate a back side of the cabinet to increase a flow of cooling air from the cooling channel at a location proximate the front side of the cabinet.
Claims17
An oven range appliance defining a vertical direction, a lateral direction and a transverse direction, the vertical, lateral and transverse directions being mutually perpendicular, the oven range appliance comprising:
- a chamber liner defining a cooking chamber;
- a cabinet enclosing the chamber liner and cooking chamber, the cabinet extending between a first side and a second side along the lateral direction, between a front and a back along the transverse direction, and between a top and a bottom along the vertical direction, the cabinet including a side panel positioned at the first side and defining a cooling channel between the chamber liner and the side panel of the cabinet;
- and
- a diverter panel extending from the side panel toward the chamber liner, the diverter panel blocking a flow of cooling air from the cooling channel at a location proximate the back of the cabinet to increase a flow of cooling air from the cooling channel at a location proximate the front of the cabinet;
- wherein the diverter panel extends from the front of the cabinet to the back of the cabinet and defines an opening with the side panel at the location proximate the front of the cabinet.
An oven range appliance defining a vertical direction, a lateral direction and a transverse direction, the vertical, lateral and transverse directions being mutually perpendicular, the oven range appliance comprising:
- a chamber liner defining a cooking chamber;
- a cabinet enclosing the chamber liner and cooking chamber, the cabinet extending between a first side and a second side along the lateral direction, between a front and a back along the transverse direction, and between a top and a bottom along the vertical direction, the cabinet including a side panel positioned at the first side and defining a cooling channel between the chamber liner and the side panel of the cabinet;
- and
- a diverter panel extending from the side panel toward the chamber liner, the diverter panel positioned at the top of the cabinet and extending from the front of the cabinet to the back of the cabinet for deflecting cooling air from the cooling channel to a location proximate the front of the cabinet;
- wherein the diverter panel extends from the front of the cabinet to the back of the cabinet and defines an opening with the side panel at the location proximate the front of the cabinet.
