A laundry appliance includes a drum that is rotatably mounted within a cabinet and defines a chamber for receiving articles of clothing. Primary and ambient air duct systems provide fluid communication between a conditioning system and at least one of the chamber of the drum and an ambient environment, respectively. A blower fan urges air through the conditioning system and a damper system is operably coupled to the ambient air duct system for selectively regulating a flow of ambient air. A controller is configured to receive a command to initiate a dehumidification cycle, operate the conditioning system and the blower, and regulate the damper system to permit the flow of ambient air to pass through conditioning system and through the ambient air duct system, thereby dehumidifying the ambient environment.

A dryer is disclosed. The dryer includes a heat exchanger configured to remove moisture from air flowing and heat and discharge the moisture-removed air, a drum containing a material to be dried, a humidity sensor configured to detect a humidity of the air flowing from the drum, a fan configured to generate a flow of the air flowing along a flow path formed so that the air discharged from the heat exchanger flows to the heat exchanger via the drum and the humidity sensor, and a processor configured to determine a dried state of the material to be dried based on the humidity detected through the humidity sensor, and the humidity sensor is disposed at a position where a flow velocity of the air is equal to or higher than a predetermined velocity in the flow path formed between the drum and the heat exchanger.

A laundry appliance includes an outer cabinet having opposing sidewalls that extend between a front panel and a rear panel. A blower is positioned within the outer cabinet and delivers process air through an airflow path. A rotating drum receives articles to be processed. The airflow path includes the rotating drum. A lint filter is selectively operable to a filtering position within a filter receptacle of the airflow path. The filtering position places a filter media of the lint filter within the airflow path. An access door is operable to a closed position within a door receptacle defined within a side panel of the opposing sidewalls. The door receptacle is aligned with the filter receptacle and the access door conceals the filter receptacle in the filtering position.
