Zusammenfassung:A laundry appliance (12) includes a drum (14) for processing laundry. A blower (16) delivers process air (18) through an airflow path (20) that includes the drum (14). A lint filter (24) is positioned within the airflow path (20) that separates particulate material (28) from the process air (18) to define entrapped lint particles (30). A lint disposal mechanism (26) removes the entrapped lint particles (30) from a surface of the lint filter (24) to define removed lint (56). A holding compartment (60) receives the removed lint (56) for disposal.
