Washing machine with self-cleaning drying circuit and relevant operating cycle

摘要

A washing machine is provided with a drying circuit including a substantially vertical condensation channel (5) connected to a fan made up of an impeller (1) enclosed by a case (2) and driven by a motor (3) to generate an air flow through the machine drum and the condensation channel (5), as well as a cleaning device for the drying circuit including an electrovalve (11) that feeds through a pipe (12) both a first nozzle suitable to clean the impeller (1) and a second nozzle suitable to clean the condensation channel (5), the electrovalve (11) having a flow rate of 7 l/min and being operatively connected to a control unit of the washing machine so as to be activated during the wash cycle at a water loading step.
