Abstract: A laundry treating apparatus may comprise a cabinet that defines an exterior design; a drum rotatably mounted in the cabinet and configured to accommodate laundry; a drive unit or motor configured to rotate the drum; a hot air supply unit or hot air blower configured to supply high-temperature air to the drum and in communication with the drum; a collection portion or liquid chamber provided to collect water condensed from the drum and in communication with the hot air supply unit; and a drainage pump configured to discharge the water collected in the collection portion outside the cabinet such that the laundry treating apparatus may sense whether the condensate collected in the collection portion is frozen and thaw the frozen condensate. A control method of the laundry treating apparatus may be provided to thaw and operate the laundry treating apparatus.

Abstract: A control method for a drying machine according to one exemplary embodiment is applied to a drying machine which selects at least one of a heat pump system and a heater to use as a heat source for heating air to be supplied into the drum. The control method includes activating the heat pump system when both of the heat pump system and the heater are selected as the heat source, and determining whether or not a compressor included in the heat pump system normally operates. Whether or not to use the heater as the heat source is decided according to whether or not the compressor normally operates.
