    Abstract: A method of circulating air in a combination washing and drying laundry treating appliance comprising a tub, a rotatable drum defining a treating chamber and having at least one baffle with a plurality of air outlets and a drying air circuit. The drying circuit comprising a manifold assembly provided on a rear of the drum, 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 located at a front of the treating chamber and an outlet fluidly coupled to the manifold assembly, and a blower fluidly coupled to the air flow assembly. The method comprising actuating the blower to provide flowing air from a front of the treating chamber through the inlet and back to the manifold assembly, where the air is returned to the treating chamber at least through the air outlets in the baffle to establish a front-to-back recirculation of air within the treating chamber.

    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.
