ABSTRACT:
An accessory for a clothes washing machine includes a door having air flow ports and an air-circulation enhancer having a fan mechanism for mounting on top of an agitator of the clothes washing machine. The an mechanism has a turbine-like structure such that air is circulated along the agitator, through the air flow ports defined in the door, and then out other air flow ports in the door such that air circulation is enhanced over and around the clothes being centrifugally held against a tub wall during the spin-dry cycle of the clothes washing machine. The enhanced air circulation accelerates the drying process that occurs during the spin-dry cycle.
