Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a cabinet that has a user interface. A drum is disposed within the cabinet and includes baffles. A blower directs process air through an airflow path that includes the drum. A lint filter is disposed within the airflow path and between the drum and the blower. A foreign particulate collector is disposed within the drum and is configured to collect foreign particulates within the drum. A controller is operably coupled to a motor for rotating the drum and the blower. The user interface and the controller cooperate to operate the drum and the blower for capturing foreign particulates at least within the foreign particulate collector.

Abstract: A foreign particulate removal assembly for a laundry appliance includes a cabinet and a drum that is disposed within the cabinet. The drum includes a humidity sensor. The foreign particulate removal assembly further includes a fluid emitting feature that is operably coupled to a fluid housing proximate the drum. The fluid emitting feature is configured to selectively dispense fluid into the drum. A controller is communicatively coupled with the fluid emitting feature. The controller is configured to activate the fluid emitting feature when the humidity sensor detects a predetermined wetness of clothing items disposed within the drum.
