摘要: A washing machine appliance, including methods of operation, is provided herein. The washing machine appliance may include a cabinet, a tub positioned within the cabinet, a wash basket, and a nozzle assembly. The nozzle assembly may be mounted within the cabinet and configured to provide wash fluid to the tub. The nozzle assembly may include an extendable nozzle, a valve assembly, a retractable fluid supply conduit, a supplemental heater, and a temperature sensor. The extendable nozzle may define a fluid path between a nozzle inlet and a nozzle outlet. The valve assembly may be configured to provide a flow of wash fluid to the extendable nozzle. The supplemental heater may be positioned in thermal communication with the flow of wash fluid between the valve assembly and the nozzle outlet. The temperature sensor may be positioned in thermal communication with the flow of wash fluid downstream from the valve assembly.

摘要: Washing machine appliance ventilation systems and methods include rotating a wash basket of the washing machine appliance for an ON period, whereby a flow of ambient air is drawn through an aperture in the washing machine appliance from an ambient environment into the wash basket. The systems and methods also include comparing a humidity within the washing machine appliance to a reference humidity value. When a difference between the humidity within the washing machine appliance and the reference humidity value is greater than a threshold, the step of rotating the wash basket for the ON period is repeated. When the difference between the humidity within the washing machine appliance and the reference humidity value is less than or equal to the threshold, the ventilation cycle or method is terminated.
