Abstract: Provided is laundry treating apparatus which may include a cabinet, a tub provided in the cabinet, and a drum provided in the tub. A circulation path may be formed outside the tub along which air inside the tub circulates by passing through the tub and the circulation path. A plurality of cleaning nozzles may be provided at the circulation path and configured to inject water. A plurality of water supply passages and a plurality of water supply valves configured to open and close the water supply passages may be provided. A controller may sequentially control the water supply valves such that at least one of the water supply valves is open and another water supply valve is closed, such that at least one of the plurality of cleaning nozzles is open to allow water to be continuously supplied from the water supply source.

Abstract: A method of controlling steam supply in a laundry machine. The control method includes heating a predetermined space within a duct in communication with a tub and/or drum of the laundry machine to a higher temperature than a temperature of the other space within the duct, directly supplying water to the heated predetermined space to generate steam, supplying air flow towards the heated predetermined space so as to transport the generated steam to the laundry, and adjusting an implementation time of the heating based on actual voltage of power supplied to the laundry machine.

Abstract: A method for controlling a laundry processing apparatus, according to an embodiment of the present invention, is a method for controlling a clothes processing apparatus, comprising the steps of: inputting a “drying” start command; forwardly rotating a drying drum and a drying fan; supplying hot air into the drying drum; operating a timer so as to calculate drying time; and operating a dryness sensor so as to detect the dryness of laundry, wherein a controller determines that the laundry is tangled, if a dryness sensing value (K) detected by the dryness sensor is greater than or equal to a first set value (k1) before a first set time (T1) elapses after “drying” starts, and the controller performs a primary laundry untangling process for reversely rotating the drying drum for a second set time (T2).
