Abstract: A laundry treating appliance for treating laundry according to an automatic cycle of operation includes a cabinet defining a cabinet interior. A container is rotatable within the cabinet interior, and at least partially defines a treating chamber. The treating chamber has a treating chamber air inlet and a treating chamber air outlet. An air recirculation circuit fluidly couples the treating chamber air outlet to the treating chamber air inlet. The laundry treating appliance includes a condenser.

Abstract: A laundry washing appliance includes a drum that is rotationally operable within a tub. A sanitization mechanism delivers ozone into a processing space defined within the drum for sanitizing laundry within the drum. An ozone generator of the sanitization mechanism generates ozone gas wherein the sanitization mechanism includes an injection device that injects the ozone into the drum during a specific rotational operation of the drum.
