FLUID DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR A FRONT-LOAD WASHING APPLIANCE FOR DELIVERING FLUID TO LIFTERS OF THE DRUM

Abstract:

A front-load laundry appliance includes a drum that is rotationally operable within a tub about a generally horizontal rotational axis. A plurality of lifters are coupled to an interior surface of the drum. A fluid delivery path is at least partially defined within the drum and the plurality of lifters. A fluid delivery system delivers fluid into the fluid delivery path in a direction parallel to the generally horizontal rotational axis.
