Abstract: A drying appliance includes a cabinet with a processing chamber operably disposed therein. A blower delivers process air through an airflow path. The airflow path includes the processing chamber. A condensing airflow path has an inlet positioned within a front panel of the cabinet and an outlet positioned within a bottom panel of the cabinet. A condensing blower moves condensing air from the inlet to the outlet. An airflow seal extends downward from a front edge of the cabinet. The airflow seal separates a low-pressure region proximate the inlet from a high-pressure region proximate the outlet to block convection between the outlet and the inlet.

Abstract: A drying appliance includes an outer cabinet having a back panel. A rotating drum is positioned adjacent to an arcuate recess of the back panel. A blower delivers process air through an airflow path that includes the rotating drum. The airflow path extends through an airway defined within the arcuate recess of the back panel and through a rear wall of the drum. An insulation panel is positioned between the rear wall of the drum and the back panel of the outer cabinet. The insulation panel occupies the arcuate recess and partially surrounds the airway to prevent accumulation of lint within the arcuate recess. The insulation panel is configured to prevent thermal transfer from a processing space within the rotating drum and an area rearward of the back panel.

Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a cabinet. A rotating drum is positioned within the cabinet. A blower directs process air through an airflow path. The airflow path includes the drum. A motor is coupled to the cabinet via a retaining bracket. The motor includes a drive shaft operably coupled to one of the drum and the blower. A damping ring is positioned about the drive shaft and between the motor and the retaining bracket. Damping apertures are defined within a body of the damping ring. The damping apertures define respective voids that absorb operational vibrations generated by the motor in an activated state.
