The invention relates to a laundry treatment device (1) comprising: a casing (2) containing a treatment chamber (3) for receiving a load to be treated, said casing including an aperture (2a) for accessing the treatment chamber (3), and a door assembly (3a) associated to the casing (2) and capable of opening and closing said aperture (2a). The door assembly comprises a door frame (4,5) having a door opening (4a,5a) defining an inner edge (14,15); a cover ring (7) having a ring opening (17), the cover ring being attached to the door frame (4,5) so that the ring opening substantially corresponds to the door opening in an assembled configuration; a door cover (8) covering the door opening (4a,5a) and the ring opening (17), the door cover having an outer edge, wherein a portion of said door cover outer edge is interposed between a peripheral portion of the frame around the inner edge of the door opening and a peripheral portion of the ring cover around the inner edge of the ring opening. Moreover, the door assembly (3a) further comprises at least a blocking element located on the door cover and/or on the frame and/or on the cover ring to minimize relative movements of said door cover (8) with respect to said frame (4,5) and/or said cover ring (7).
