50 4 to be more fully explained in fig3 correspondingly remaining relay devices 52 54 56 and 58 employ a like structural configuration as also shown in the present drawing power conductor l 1 is connected to each relay device so that engagement of an individual coacting contact means in the selected relay device completes an electrical circuit supplying power to the particular functional means individually connected thereto control signals for actuation of an individual relay device in the presently illustrated control means are applied in a particular manner with circuit conductors 48 1 48 2 and 48 3 circuit conductor 48 1 applies a control signal causing energizing potential to be supplied to one plate element of a selected relay device while a second control signal applied with circuit conductor 48 2 enables the energizing potential to be supplied to the remaining plate element of the selected relay device a third control signal applied with an individual circuit conductor 48 3 to the central conductive surface of the selected relay device enables the energizing potential to be switched between the cooperating plate elements of the selected relay device in order to cause its coacting contact means to become engaged in fig3 there is depicted a more detailed structural view for the hereinabove illustrated power control system 42 operating the fig1 laundry appliance as previously explained control means 42 can all be physically incorporated into a single housing member or module which is mounted on the control panel 30 to regulate the power input to the controlled electrically actuated functional means provided in this appliance the fig3 a embodiment depicts the individual bender members 50 52 54 56 and 58 as physically separate from each other and with each of the bender members having power terminals t.
