Abstract
A combination washer/dryer machine includes a rotatable drum inside a cabinet. The drum has an external surface. A tub is positioned inside the cabinet. The drum is rotatable in the tub. The tub has an inner surface. A seal contacts the exterior surface of the drum and the inner surface of the tub during drying operation to minimize the bypass of drying air.
