Zusammenfassung:	A laundry appliance including a cabinet, a tub, and a drum. The tub is positioned inside the cabinet. The tub includes a front tub wall having a front tub opening, a rear tub wall, and a tub sidewall that extends between the front tub wall and the rear tub wall. The drum is rotatably supported within the tub. The drum includes a front drum opening, a rear drum wall, a drum sidewall that extends between the front drum opening and the rear drum wall, and a laundry compartment positioned inside the drum that is accessible through the front drum opening. An air gap is positioned radially between the tub sidewall and the drum sidewall. At least one heating element is positioned on or in the tub sidewall to heat the tub sidewall and therefore air flowing through the air gap.
