Claim 12:
13. An appliance housing comprising:
a mating component defining an opening;
a confined component removably connected to the mating component;
a primary beam, the primary beam being elastically movable relative to the mating component; and
a pin attached to the primary beam to move therewith between a flexed position and an original position, the pin extending from a base end proximal to the primary beam and an outer end distal to the primary beam, the pin being selectively received within the opening to constrain the primary beam relative to the mating component,
wherein the primary beam is flexible to allow the pin to move inward in a first direction to the flexed position and return outward in a direction opposite to the first direction to the original position,
wherein the appliance housing further comprises a skeletal support frame, the skeletal support frame being attached to the primary beam,
wherein the skeletal support frame defines a deformation void behind the primary beam, and
wherein the flexed position includes the primary beam rearward from the original position toward the deformation void.
