Abstract: A laundry appliance includes an outer cabinet having opposing sidewalls that extend between a front panel and a rear panel. A blower is positioned within the outer cabinet and delivers process air through an airflow path. A rotating drum receives articles to be processed. The airflow path includes the rotating drum. A lint filter is selectively operable to a filtering position within a filter receptacle of the airflow path. The filtering position places a filter media of the lint filter within the airflow path. An access door is operable to a closed position within a door receptacle defined within a side panel of the opposing sidewalls. The door receptacle is aligned with the filter receptacle and the access door conceals the filter receptacle in the filtering position.
