Abstract

A fabric dryer includes a front bulkhead assembly providing a pair of airflow outlets from the drying chamber. A first airflow outlet is associated with the stationary front bulkhead adjacent the access opening of the fabric dryer. A second airflow outlet is integral with the lint filter and is located within an airflow space formed between the access opening and a projecting portion of the access door. The projecting portion of the access door generally overlies the second airflow outlet to protect the outlet from blockage by fabrics being tumbled.
