An improved appliance is provided for easy and controlled movement of the door from a closed position to an open position. The appliance includes a door pivotally mounted over an access opening. A gas-charged cylinder or strut is mounted within the appliance and connected to one end of a lever arm, with the other end of the lever arm being connected to the door. A push-push latch normally retains the door in a closed position. A person can easily push on the door to release the latch, after which the cylinder arm is automatically extended to move the door to the open position. The door, cylinder and latch combination of the present invention can be used on top-loading and front-loading appliances and appliances with doors pivotal about horizontal and vertical axes.
