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); said blocking element (100) includes a snap-fitting connection apt to block said door cover (8) in correspondence of said outer edge (18) with respect to said cover ring (7) and/or to said frame (5).
