Abstract: A laundry treating appliance is disclosed. The laundry treating appliance includes a tub having a tub side wall and a tub end wall defining a liquid chamber with a tub end opening. A tub manifold portion is positioned at the tub end wall. A rotatable drum is located within the liquid chamber, rotatable about a rotational axis, and has a drum side wall and a drum end wall at least partially defining a treating chamber with a drum end opening. A drum manifold portion is positioned at the drum end wall and confronts the tub manifold portion. At least one lifter is secured to the drum, and a liquid conduit fluidly couples the drum manifold portion to the at least one lifter.

Abstract: A combination washing and drying appliance includes a tub that is disposed within a cabinet. A drum is rotationally operable within the tub about a rotational axis. An airflow path is defined within an interstitial space between the drum and the tub. A blower fan operates to direct process air through the airflow path. The blower fan is disposed within a blower enclosure that is defined by a back wall of the drum and a blower housing that is attached to the tub. Engagement of the back wall of the drum and the blower housing of the tub defines a slidable engagement that is selectively sealed during operation of the blower fan to prevent the process air from leaving the airflow path and to further prevent aspiration of ambient air to the airflow path.

Abstract: A combination washing and drying laundry treating appliance for treating laundry according to an automatic cycle of operation includes a cabinet defining a cabinet interior. A tub defines a tub interior for receiving wash liquid during a washing cycle of operation and has at least one baffle with a plurality of air outlets. A drum is rotatable within the tub interior, and defines a treating chamber for holding laundry for washing or drying treatment. A washing circuit comprises a treating chemistry dispenser fluidly coupled to at least one of the tub interior or drum interior and a liquid supply fluidly coupled to at least one of the treating chemistry dispenser, tub interior, or drum interior. A drying air circuit comprises a manifold assembly, a lifter assembly provided on the drum and fluidly coupling the manifold assembly to the plurality of air outlets on the baffle, an air flow assembly having an inlet and an outlet fluidly coupled to the manifold assembly, and a blower fluidly coupled to the air flow assembly whereby actuation of the blower recirculates air through the treating chamber.
