Abstract: A laundry appliance door assembly with a wire cover to protect the wire conductor that passes through the door hinge where it has a tendency to get pulled and damaged when the door is in motion. The wire cover includes a wire cover and a wire conduit coaxially connected together allowing the wire cover to rotate relative to the wiring conduit while within alignment of the hinge rotational axis. The wire cover comprises two lateral halves for ease of installation where it is designed to encase the wire conductor that passes through the door hinge.

Abstract: A clothes dryer having a primary drying chamber with an air flow system having an inlet in the rear wall and an outlet on the front wall to define a primary air flow path through the primary drying chamber between the inlet and the outlet. A door movable between opened/closed positions to selectively open/close the primary drying chamber. A secondary drying chamber located adjacent the front wall to at least partially block access through the access opening without preventing rotation of the tub in the primary drying chamber. The secondary drying chamber also defining a secondary flow path through the drying basket to the front wall outlet. A scoop located within the primary drying chamber that deflects at least some of the air in the primary flow path to the secondary flow path.
