More Information
Summary:A laundry appliance includes a cabinet that defines an opening, a drum accessible via the opening and configured for processing laundry, a blower that conveys process air along an airflow path, and a vortex lint filter coupled to the cabinet and at least selectively disposed within the airflow path. The vortex lint filter has a receptacle that includes an outer side wall that defines an inlet, a floor that extends inboard from the outer side wall, and a tower that extends upward from the floor and defines an outlet. The blower is configured to deliver process air into the receptacle via the inlet, along the outer side wall to create a process air vortex, and out of the receptacle via the outlet, such that particulate matter is separated from the process air and collects within the receptacle.
