Abstract: A washing machine is configured to rotate a cylindrical drum formed by processing a metal sheet about a horizontal axis. The drum includes a lifter, formed by processing the metal sheet, respectively provided at a plurality of points spaced along a circumferential direction, when viewed from a front side. The lifter includes a front lifter which is formed by protruding the metal sheet into the drum, and pressurized to be extended in a longitudinal direction of the drum, and a rear lifter disposed in a rear side of the front lifter. The rear lifter is disposed to form a certain phase angle with respect to the front lifter.

Abstract: A method of controlling a washing machine, including: a first detection operation of acquiring an amount of laundry in a washing tub; selecting one of a plurality of washing courses based on the amount of laundry determined in the first detection operation; and performing the selected washing course. The plurality of washing courses includes a first washing course performing washing according to a first washing mode configured based on the amount of laundry and a second washing course performing washing according to a second washing mode configured based on the amount of the laundry and a state of the laundry. The second washing course includes a second detection operation of acquiring the state of the laundry by using a machine-learning network that processes an electrical current value applied to a motor for rotating the washing tub during an accelerated rotation of the washing tub.

Abstract: Disclosed is a heating circulation type drying module of a dishwasher using a fan module and PTC heaters. The dishwasher includes a cabinet defining the external appearance, a tub provided in the cabinet, a door for opening or closing the tub, a flow-path unit for circulating air inside the tub through a suction port and an exhaust port, which communicate with the tub, a suction duct for communicating with the suction port, an exhaust duct for communicating with the suction duct and the exhaust port, at least two heaters provided inside the exhaust duct for heating the air, and a fan for supplying the air to the heaters. The dishwasher may achieve improved drying performance via adjustment in the temperature of air to be discharged, and may reduce power consumption via omission of a rinsing water heating course.
