A door assembly for a washing machine appliance includes an outer door frame, an inner door frame, and two reinforcement brackets positioned between the outer door frame and the inner door frame on opposite sides of the door assembly. The outer door frame defines a boss and the reinforcement bracket defines an expandable sleeve received within the boss. A mechanical fastener passes through the inner door frame and into the expandable sleeve to increase a diameter of the expandable sleeve to engage the boss and join the inner door frame, the reinforcement brackets, and the outer door frame.

A laundry appliance includes a cabinet that includes a pump. A drum is disposed within the cabinet and a tub is operably coupled to the drum and is disposed proximate to the cabinet. A water recirculation assembly is operably coupled to the pump. The water recirculation assembly includes a first tube that is operably coupled to the pump within the cabinet, a second tube that is fluidly coupled to the first tube, and a gap that is defined between the first tube and the second tube.

A drum washing machine comprises an inner drum rotatable. Both ends of the inner drum are closed and rotatably mounted on a supporting device through rotating shafts, respectively. A side wall of the inner drum is provided with an input port for taking and putting items. A sealing inner cover capable of being opened/closed is mounted at the input port. A water flow passage for feeding water and/or draining water is arranged in at least one of the rotating shafts at both ends of the inner drum. The whole inner drum may be made into a drum without any hole. During the washing process, washing water is held in the inner drum, and the inner drum rotates to wash clothes. The two closed ends of the inner drum are rotatably mounted on the supporting device through the rotating shafts, thus realizing rotation of the inner drum.
