Abstract
A laundry appliance includes a cabinet that defines an interior volume with a laundry basket rotatably mounted therein. The laundry basket defines a chamber for the receipt of articles for treatment. The laundry appliance also includes a heating system in thermal communication with the chamber whereby heated air flows from the heating system to the chamber. An air filter is positioned between the laundry basket and the heating system upstream of the heating system, whereby a flow of return air from the chamber passes through and is filtered by the air filter before flowing to the heating system. The laundry appliance also includes a brush in contact with the air filter along one edge of the air filter and a motor operatively connected to the air filter. The motor is configured to rotate the air filter past and across the brush to thereby clean the air filter.
