Publication number: 20230340715Abstract: A lint filter for a laundry appliance includes a handle, a first panel that extends from the handle and has a mesh filtration member, and a second panel that is coupled to the first panel at a hinge member that opposes the handle. The hinge member biases the second panel against the mesh filtration member to define a closed position, and a flow of process air through the mesh filtration member moves the second panel away from the mesh filtration member to define an open position that forms a filtering space for capturing particulate matter from the process air. Upon deactivation of the flow of the process air, the lint filter returns to the closed position that is configured to trap the particulate matter in the filtering space and between the first and second panels.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Applicant: WHIRLPOOL CORPORATIONInventors: Mark J. Christensen, Kyle J. Carow, Brendan L. Erickson, Forrest S. McKenzie

Patent number: 11655582Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a cabinet having a rotating drum operably positioned therein for processing fabric. At least one transducer is positioned proximate the drum that provides an ultrasonic resonance that is directed into an interior chamber of the drum. The ultrasonic resonance is adapted to be directed into damp fabric being treated within the interior chamber. The ultrasonic resonance serves to modify water trapped within the damp fabric into a substantially gaseous form.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2021Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventors: Mark J. Christensen, Donald Erickson, Jordan M. Grider, Alexander Halbleib, Christopher A. Hartnett, Christopher A. Jones, K. David McAllister, Rodney M. Welch, Erica L. Roberts

Publication number: 20220364295Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a blower that delivers process air through an airflow path. A rotating drum defines a processing chamber. The processing chamber is part of the airflow path. A steam generating system disposes steam into the processing chamber. A plurality of fluid nozzles direct the steam into the processing chamber according to an operating pattern. The plurality of fluid nozzles include a first nozzle that is positioned within an upper portion of the processing chamber and a second nozzle that is positioned in a lower portion of the processing chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2022Publication date: November 17, 2022Applicant: WHIRLPOOL CORPORATIONInventors: Ryan R. Bellinger, Shannon Wynne, Mark J. Christensen

Patent number: 11456638Abstract: A drive motor for a laundry appliance includes a stator having a plurality of windings that extend around teeth of the stator. A rotor is in electromagnetic communication with the stator. The rotor is coupled to a drive shaft that extends through the stator. When the winding of the stator is electrically energized, the rotor rotates relative to the stator at a predetermined range of rotational frequencies that includes a baseline natural frequency of the rotor. A harmonic-modulating member is attached to the rotor that modulates the baseline natural frequency of the rotor to be a modulated natural frequency. The predetermined range of rotational frequencies is free of the modulated natural frequency of the rotor.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2020Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventors: Mark J. Christensen, Mihir Kikale, Eduardo Abraham Lopez Benitez, Sushil Sakharam Paradhe
