Abstract:
A laundry treating apparatus includes a casing, a tub provided in the casing (10), and a rotatable drum (20) provided in the tub. The laundry treating apparatus also includes a water supply part provided in the casing to supply water to the rotatable drum and a solvent supply part supplying dry-cleaning solvent to the rotatable drum. The laundry treating apparatus further includes a condensation device that condenses a gaseous portion of the solvent into a liquid form and supplies the solvent in the liquid form to the solvent supply part.
Abstract:
A washing method and a washing machine are provided. Wash water is drained from a tub prior to initiating a main spinning process, and wash water is supplied into a drum to decrease the volume of the laundry which is increased by the draining. Therefore, it is possible to effectively reduce the volume of laundry and thus to improve the mobility of the laundry. Then, a main spinning process is performed by spinning the drum at high speed.
Abstract:
A laundry machine capable of washing or drying laundry and a method for controlling the same are provided. The method includes a first rotation including rotating a stationary drum in a first rotating direction by a predetermined angle within ˜180 degrees, and a second rotation including rotating the drum, in a direction opposite to the first rotating direction, at least one revolution.
Abstract:
A washing machine that calculates a temperature of a balancer to effectively control a motor and a method of controlling the washing machine are provided. The washing machine comprises a rotatable drum that receives laundry, a motor that rotates the drum, a balancer that is connected to the drum, the balancer changing a center of gravity of the drum, and a controller that rotates the motor at a constant rotational speed and then calculates a temperature of the balancer based on a period of a variation in rotational speed of the motor.
Abstract:
Control methods of a laundry machine are disclosed. One of them is a control method of a laundry machine comprising a water supplying step configured to drive the drum of the machine in scrub motion when water is supplied to the tub of the machine. Another control method of the laundry machine comprising a washing cycle with at least one water supplying step configured to drive the drum in a predetermined time period after water supply to the tub starts or after the water level reaches a predetermined value.
Abstract:
The patent application discloses a control method of a laundry machine provided with a balancer. The method includes decreasing a speed of a drum (320) in case vibration of the drum (320) sensed in an accelerating step is a predetermined value or more and rotating the drum (320) at a constant speed for a predetermined time period to implement balancing.
Abstract:
A control method of a laundry machine is disclosed. The control method of a laundry machine comprising a circulating step configured to circulate water inside the tub to re-supply the water to the tub, the circulating step implemented in a heating step.
Abstract:
A control method of a laundry machine is disclosed. The control method of a laundry machine having balancer includes determining at least one of a drum acceleration point and an acceleration inclination in a transient region passing step (S210) based on an unbalance amount.
Abstract:
A laundry treating apparatus capable of washing and drying laundry and a control method therefore are disclosed. The laundry treating apparatus includes a first laundry treating device (100) configured to process laundry based on preset operating conditions, a second laundry treating device (200) installed adjacent to the first laundry treating device (100) and configured to process laundry based on preset operating conditions independently of the first laundry treating device (100), first and second heaters installed respectively in the first (100) and second (200) laundry treating devices, and a control device to determine the order of priority upon operations of the first and second heaters in consideration of the preset operating conditions and to selectively operate only any one of the first and second heaters after operating the determined heater first.
Abstract:
A washing machine is disclosed which washes laundry using a mechanical force. The washing machine includes a display unit (60) formed at a door (40) to display information on washing, accordingly expanding the installation space for the display unit (60). In addition, when the display unit comprises a touch screen, not only input and display of the washing information but also visual inspection of laundry in a drum can be achieved by the display unit.
