The present disclosure provides a flushing device and method for an evaporator of dryer, and a dryer. The flushing device comprises an evaporator, a water storage box and a condensate water pan for collecting condensate water, wherein an eccentric bucket is arranged between the water storage box and the evaporator, a supporting structure is arranged at two symmetrical sides of a periphery of the eccentric bucket, the supporting structure enables the eccentric bucket to turn over along with a change in the center of gravity of the eccentric bucket, a pipeline for conveying condensate water to the eccentric bucket is arranged between the eccentric bucket and the condensate water pan, an opening of the eccentric bucket is arranged upwards, and after the eccentric bucket is turned over, the opening of the eccentric bucket is aligned with the evaporator, such that condensate water in the eccentric bucket flushes the evaporator.

A method for operating a dryer appliance includes obtaining an initial operating temperature, obtaining a first temperature set point and a second temperature set point lower than the first temperature set point, wherein the first temperature set point and the second temperature set point are based at least in part on the initial operating temperature, operating the dryer appliance at the initial operating temperature, determining that a restriction level within the dryer appliance exceeds a restriction threshold, and operating the dryer appliance at the first temperature set point, lower than the initial operating temperature, upon determining that the restriction level exceeds the restriction threshold.

A laundry appliance includes a blower that directs process air through an airflow path. A rotating drum holds articles to be processed. A heat pump system has a condenser and an evaporator. The evaporator dehumidifies the process air that is delivered from the drum and the condenser heats the process air that is delivered from the evaporator. A phase change material retains heat from the condenser that is directed away from the process air, and the captured heat of the phase change material is utilized during a subsequent laundry cycle.

The present invention relates drying clothes and other fabrics. The present invention further relates to a cold-air system for removing moisture from fabric. The present invention even further relates to a system for drying fabrics in a closed, non-exhausted system. The present invention even further relates to a free-standing, low energy appliance for drying fabrics.

A domestic clothes dryer includes a rotating drum that defines a drying chamber, an air inlet upstream the drum, and a lifter coupled to the drum. The lifter is in communication with the air inlet for distributing air inside the drum through a plurality of openings. The air inlet includes a shaped air plenum chamber facing a lower portion of a rear perforated wall of the drum and capable of delivering air to said lifter and/or directly to the drum through the rear perforated wall.

A method of operating a dryer appliance is provided that includes obtaining washer operating parameters from a washing machine appliance that is linked to the dryer appliance and obtaining dryer operating parameters of the dryer appliance. These parameters are transmitted to a remote server along with a user input such as a selected dryness level. The method further includes receiving operating instructions from the remote server and adjusting at least one operating parameter of the dryer appliance based on the operating instructions.
