Abstract: A laundry appliance including a cabinet, a wash unit tub inside the cabinet, and a drum rotatably supported within the wash unit tub. The wash unit tub includes a front tub wall having a front tub opening. The drum defines a laundry compartment therein and includes a front drum opening that provides access to the laundry compartment. A front facia is mounted to the front tub wall of the wash unit tub. A recirculation hose extends between a pump that is positioned inside the cabinet at a location below the wash unit tub and a recirculation nozzle that is mounted to the wash unit tub at a position near the top of the front tub opening. The recirculation hose passes through a window in the front facia and is routed through a gap that is disposed between the front tub wall and the front facia to the recirculation nozzle.
