Abstract: A dryer appliance defines a vertical direction, a lateral direction, and a transverse direction. The vertical, lateral, and transverse directions are mutually perpendicular. The dryer appliance includes a cabinet extending along the transverse direction from a rear panel to a front panel, along the lateral direction from a left side panel to a right side panel, and along the vertical direction from a bottom panel to a top cover. The cabinet defines an interior volume. A drum is rotatably mounted within the interior volume of the cabinet. The drum defines a chamber for the receipt of clothes for drying. A reservoir is mounted in the cabinet at the front panel of the cabinet. The reservoir is configured for receipt of an additive. The reservoir is in fluid communication with the chamber to provide the additive from the reservoir to the chamber.

Abstract: A lint cleaning assembly for a dryer appliance includes a vacuum aperture defined in a cabinet of the dryer appliance to allow a robotic vacuum cleaner to drive into the cabinet. A lint filter collects lint within a trap duct during operation and a lint collection duct extends from the trap duct to a vacuum docking station. The vacuum docking station is positioned within the cabinet for docking the robotic vacuum cleaner, fluidly coupling the robotic vacuum cleaner to the lint collection duct for lint removal, and/or charging the batteries of the robotic vacuum cleaner.

Abstract: A washing machine appliance configured with a smart additive bulk dispensing assembly is provided. The washing machine appliance includes a large capacity or bulk tank and features for dispensing an appropriate amount of additive in accordance with the selected wash cycle. The washing machine appliance also includes features for managing the additive supply within the tank.

Abstract: A pretreat cover for a washing machine appliance is movable between a stowed position and a deployed position. In the stowed position, the pretreat cover is spaced apart from an opening defined by a top panel of the washing machine appliance. In contrast, the pretreat cover is at least partially disposed in the opening when the pretreat cover is in the deployed position.

Abstract: A washing machine appliance includes a cabinet having a top panel, a wash tub mounted within the cabinet below the top panel, and a door mounted to the cabinet at the top panel. The door is adjustable between an open position and a closed position. The door is positioned over the wash tub in the closed position. The washing machine appliance also includes a spray head mounted to the door with an articulated joint. The spray head is fluidly connected to a wash fluid source and is configured for selectively providing a flow of wash fluid in a desired direction and location within the wash tub when the door is in the open position.

Abstract: A washing machine appliance includes a cabinet and a wash tub mounted within the cabinet. The washing machine appliance also includes a spray hose assembly fluidly connected to a wash fluid source and configured for selectively providing a flow of wash fluid in a desired direction and location. The spray hose assembly includes a retractable hose mounted within the cabinet and a spray head attached to the retractable hose. The retractable hose of the spray hose assembly may be retractable by one or both of a coiled section of the retractable hose or a torsion spring configured to provide a return force to the retractable hose.

Abstract: A washing machine appliance includes a diverter assembly for selectively directing a flow of water to a primary dispenser and an auxiliary spray device. The diverter assembly includes a diverter body defining a diverter body defining a chamber inlet, a primary outlet in fluid communication with the primary dispenser, and an auxiliary outlet in fluid communication with the auxiliary spray device. A diverter valve moves between a first and second position based on a pressure differential relative to a diverter chamber. During standard operation, a spring urges the diverter valve to seal the auxiliary outlet and direct the flow to the primary dispenser. When a button is depressed to activate the auxiliary spray device, the pressure differential across the auxiliary outlet urges the diverter valve to a second position that seals the primary outlet and directs the flow to the auxiliary spray device.

Abstract: A pretreat cover for a washing machine appliance is movable between a stowed position and a deployed position. In the stowed position, the pretreat cover is spaced apart from an opening defined by a top panel of the washing machine appliance. In contrast, the pretreat cover is at least partially disposed in the opening when the pretreat cover is in the deployed position.

Abstract: A washing machine appliance includes a cabinet, the cabinet including a top panel which defines an opening. The washing machine appliance further includes a tub positioned within the cabinet, and a wash basket rotatably mounted within the tub, the wash basket defining a wash chamber for receiving articles for washing. The washing machine appliance further includes a wash basin removably positionable within the opening, the wash basin including a first sidewall and an opposing second sidewall.

Abstract: A washing machine, including a fluid additive receptacle, is generally provided herein. The fluid additive receptacle may include a receptacle body, a door, and a pin. The receptacle body may define a body opening to receive an additive therethrough. The receptacle body may further define a mounting channel.
