Abstract
A domestic clothes dryer construction which increases dryer capacity by allowing the length of the drum to be increased while keeping the cabinet size the same. In the present invention, the single rear cabinet panel is used as a drum support, and in so doing, eliminates the separate rear bulkhead structure attached to the rear panel of the dryer in present day dryers.
