Zusammenfassung:A front-load laundry appliance (20) including an in-door condensing system (86) with an air-to-air condenser that forms an air cooling loop (98) inside an in-door cavity (35). The air cooling loop (98) is a tube that extends in a flat spiral to form multiple loops that gradually increase in radius. The in-door condensing system (86) includes an in-door circulation fan (94) and a heat exchanger fan (96). The in-door circulation fan (94) is positioned in the in-door cavity (35) and is arranged to pull moist air from inside the laundry compartment (66) into the in-door cavity (35) where it condenses. The heat exchanger fan (96) is also positioned in the in-door cavity (35) and is arranged to pull cooling air from outside the laundry appliance (20) into the air cooling loop (98) . The air cooling loop (98) of the in-door condenser (88) may alternatively receive a cooling air flow from a chiller (130) located inside the laundry appliance (20).
