Abstract

A laundry appliance (12) includes a filter (14) that accumulates microparticles (28) in a fluid path, a pressure sensor (30) having a membrane (32) that moves from an initial position toward a saturated position in response to the accumulation of the microparticles (28), an arm (34) operably coupled with the pressure sensor (30), and a retention feature (36) interposing the arm (34) and the filter (14) to operably couple the pressure sensor (30) with the filter (14), wherein the retention feature (36) maintains the membrane (32) in the saturated position in response a threshold saturation of the filter (14) with the microparticles (28).
