Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a cabinet that defines a cooking chamber. A magnetron is mounted within the cabinet and is in communication with the cooking chamber to direct a microwave thereto. An induction heating coil is mounted within the cabinet and is in communication with the cooking chamber to direct a magnetic field thereto. A turntable rotatably mounted in the cooking chamber at a center of the turntable. A motor is operatively coupled to the turntable and is mounted within the cabinet outside of the cooking chamber and adjacent to the induction heating coil. The motor is offset from the center of the turntable, as a result of the offset the motor is positioned outside of the magnetic field from the induction heating coil.

Abstract: A dryer appliance and sensor assembly are provided. The sensor assembly may include a sensor housing, an appliance sensor, a wireless transmission tag, and a generator. A magnet rail is statically affixed to a cabinet. The sensor housing may extend within a drum and define a compartment proximate a space for the receipt of clothes. The generator is positioned within the compartment. The drum positions the generator in operable communication with the magnet rail. The appliance sensor may be positioned on the sensor housing. The wireless transmission tag may be positioned within the compartment. The wireless transmission tag may be in communication with the appliance sensor. The wireless tag reader may be in operable communication with the wireless transmission tag.

Abstract: A microwave appliance, as provided herein, may include a cabinet, a magnetron, and a drawer liner. The cabinet may define a primary cooking chamber. The magnetron may be mounted within the cabinet in communication with the primary cooking chamber to direct a microwave thereto. The drawer liner may have a side wall joined to a base wall. The drawer liner may be slidably mounted to the cabinet to move along the vertical direction between a contracted position and an expanded position. The side wall may be received within the cabinet in the contracted position. The side wall may define a secondary cooking chamber with the base wall below the primary cooking chamber in the expanded position.

Abstract: A convection cooking appliance and removable utensil for air frying within the convection cooking appliance is provided herein. The utensil may include a utensil housing, a lid attached to the utensil housing, and a perforated basket. The utensil housing may define an enclosed fry chamber and a basket opening permitting access thereto. The utensil housing may include a non-permeable base wall and a sidewall. The sidewall may define an airflow passage to receive a convection airflow therethrough. The lid may be movable between a closed position restricting access to the basket opening and an open position permitting access to the basket opening. The perforated basket may be removably positioned within the enclosed fry chamber.
