    摘要: A method for operating a washing machine appliance includes flowing a volume of liquid into a tub, agitating articles within the tub for a first period, the tub containing the volume of liquid, and measuring movement of the tub during agitation of the articles within the tub, the tub containing the volume of liquid. The movement is measured as one or more displacement amplitudes using an accelerometer and a gyroscope. The method further includes agitating articles within the tub for a second period when the final measured movement is greater than an out-of-balance movement threshold, the tub containing the volume of liquid. The method further includes draining liquid from the tub when the final measured movement is less than the out-of-balance movement threshold, and spinning a basket after draining liquid from the tub.

    摘要: A washing machine with a balancer to counterbalance unbalanced load produced during rotation of a drum and a control method thereof. The washing machine with a balancer to counterbalance unbalanced load produced during rotation of a drum perform a ball distributing cycle of seating masses in a groove in the balancer before rotation of the drum possibly producing unbalance as in the spin-drying cycle begins to efficiently maintain balance of the drum, and a laundry untangling cycle of evenly distributing the laundry in the drum. Accordingly, vibration and noise may be reduced during the spin-drying cycle. In addition, in retrying the spin-drying, the ball distributing cycle is restricted based on the rate of rotation of the motor at the moment at which unbalance is sensed. Thereby, delay in cycle time in retrying the spin-drying cycle may be prevented.

    摘要: A laundry treatment apparatus including at least three balancers fixed to a drum such that they are spaced apart from one another at regular angular intervals around a rotational center of the drum, each of the at least three balancers being divided into a front chamber close to the front side of the drum and a rear chamber close to a rear side of the drum for accommodation of liquid and including a guide channel member for guiding liquid to the rear chamber, a channel unit comprising a first channel member for supplying liquid to the front chambers of the balancers and a second channel member for supplying liquid to the guide channel members of the balancers, and a supply unit capable of concurrently supplying liquid to both the first and second channel members or of selectively supplying liquid to one of the first and second channel members is disclosed.
