Abstract: A casing defines an external appearance of a laundry treatment apparatus. The casing has a through-hole and an outer tub placed within the casing. The outer tub is configured to receive wash water therein, and a hose extends outward through the through-hole. The hose serves to outwardly discharge the wash water received in the outer tub. A connector comprises a pair of pivotally movable parts connected to each other to tighten the hose and to secure the hose to the through-hole.

Abstract: A washing machine and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. A washing machine includes a casing that defines an outer appearance of the washing machine and an outer tub in the casing that is configured to receive water. A supporting rod is coupled with the casing, and a suspension is coupled with the outer tub, the supporting rod being inserted in the suspension. The suspension is configured to move bi-directionally along the supporting rod as the outer tub vibrates to mitigate vibration of the outer tub, and the suspension includes a frictional part configured to contact the supporting rod. The suspension is configured to apply a lubricating material to a portion of the supporting rod that is brought in contact, during the vibration of the outer tub, with the frictional part of the suspension.

Abstract: A washing machine is capable of determining whether measured vibration has been caused by noise or by rotation of the inner tub. The washing machine measures vibration occurring during rotation of the inner tub and performs control operation to address causes of vibration or prevent the washing machine from toppling in the case that the vibration has actually been caused by rotation of the inner tub.
