Abstract: A dryer appliance that includes a fire extinguishing system is provided. In one aspect, the dryer appliance includes a drum rotatably mounted within a cabinet. The drum defines a chamber for receipt of articles for drying. The dryer appliance includes a water inlet valve in fluid communication with a steam nozzle operable to deliver water into the chamber to form mist or steam. The dryer appliance also includes an extinguisher nozzle in fluid communication with the chamber of the drum and with the water inlet valve. Upon detection of a fire, water is provided to the extinguisher nozzle and the extinguisher nozzle directs a stream of water into the chamber to extinguish the detected fire.

Abstract: A dryer appliance that includes a fire extinguishing system is provided. In one aspect, the dryer appliance includes a drum rotatably mounted within a cabinet. The drum defines a chamber for receipt of articles for drying. The dryer appliance includes a water inlet valve in fluid communication with a nozzle to which a breakaway cap is mounted. The breakaway cap defines a steam outlet and the nozzle defines an extinguisher outlet. When a fire is present in the dryer appliance the water inlet valve is controlled to allow water to flow downstream to the nozzle so that the breakaway cap breaks away from the nozzle and water flows through the extinguisher outlet into the chamber of the drum to extinguish the fire.
