Abstract: A heat pump dryer includes a cabinet, a drum rotatably supported within the cabinet, a heat pump including a condenser and an evaporator that are arranged in fluid communication with each other and a floating base plate that is dynamically supported within the cabinet such that the floating base plate is permitted to oscillate relative to the cabinet. The vibration source and at least one of the evaporator and the condenser are mounted on the floating base plate such that operation of the vibration source causes the at least one of the evaporator and the condenser to vibrate and shake water condensate and debris from the at least one of the evaporator and the condenser for improved heat pump circuit efficiency.

Abstract: A laundry appliance including an appliance housing, a wash unit tub disposed inside the appliance housing, a drum rotatably supported within the wash unit tub, and a wash water dispenser assembly. A laundry compartment is provided inside the drum and the drum is rotatable about a drum axis. The wash water dispenser assembly includes a dispenser hose and a mating interface assembly. The dispenser hose includes a dispenser hose inlet and a dispenser hose outlet. The mating interface assembly connects the dispenser hose outlet to the wash unit tub. The mating interface assembly includes a tub port adapter on the tub sidewall that extends outwardly away from the drum axis to provide a mechanical connection with the dispenser hose outlet.
