Abstract
A laundry treating apparatus, such as a clothes dryer, includes an auxiliary drying rack configured to retain laundry items in a space between the drying rack and a door. The drying rack can have horizontal rods that are spaced such that laundry items are retained within the space and are not pulled into a treating chamber. The drying rack is designed to be easily opened and closed.
