Abstract
A washing machine appliance equipped with a venting system is provided. The venting system includes features for venting or expelling relatively humid air from a subwasher of the washing machine appliance, e.g., at the completion of a wash cycle. In one example aspect, a door of the washing machine appliance defines a plurality of vent apertures that allow for fresh air from an ambient environment to flow into an interior volume of the subwasher. The vent apertures extend through the door and fluidly connect the ambient environment with the interior volume. The relatively low humidity fresh air that flows into the interior chamber mixes with the relatively humid air within the interior volume. The mixed air is expelled from the washing machine appliance via a venting conduit.
