Abstract: A laundry dryer performs a method for drying laundry with steam or hot air and notifying a user of water shortage. The laundry dryer includes a cabinet, a drum, a steam unit, a storage tank, a supply pump, and a steam controller. The steam controller operates the steam unit upon receiving a steam supply command to supply steam to the drum. When a water level of water stored in at least one of the steam unit or the storage tank is equal to or less than a predetermined water level, the steam controller provides a water shortage notification message for user recognition. The laundry dryer provides the water shortage notification message when a minimum amount of residual water is stored in the storage tank. The number of times to refill the storage tank can be minimized, resulting in an increase in user convenience.

Abstract: An appliance (10) for drying and/or washing laundry includes an autonomous fire extinction device (20). The fire extinction device has pipe (26) with an elongate shape and closed at both its longitudinal ends (26x). The pipe includes a fusible thermoplastic wall defining an internal space. The pipe is thermoformed to give it a particular shape in the unconstrained free state corresponding to its mounted position inside the enclosure (12). An extinguishing fluid (29) is inside the space, and is configured to be released by fusion of the pipe wall (26) under the effect of heat produced by a fire or an incipient fire.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a tumble dryer (1) with a filter arrangement (12) located in a tumble dryer process air flow (21) for removing lint from process air leaving tumble dryer drum. The filter arrangement comprises a first coarse-mesh filter (25) and a second fine filter (27). A first sensor (41) detects a correct positioning of the first filter in the tumble dryer, and a second sensor (33) detects a pressure drop over a process air flow path comprising the second filter. A control arrangement (45) is configured to initiate a disabling operation which disables the fan arrangement (12), if the first filter is not correctly positioned in the tumble dryer or if the pressure drop over the second filter exceeds a predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: A laundry appliance having a cabinet accommodating a laundry treatment chamber, a storage drawer comprising at least one compartment for containing laundry treatment agent and a drawer seat slidingly housing the storage drawer such that the storage drawer is slidable between a retracted position, in which the storage drawer is retracted inside the drawer seat, and an extracted position, in which the storage drawer is at least partially extracted from the drawer seat. The laundry appliance further comprises a drawer position detecting system for detecting when the drawer is in the retracted position. The drawer position detecting system comprises a target element on one of the cabinet and the drawer, and a sensor element on the other of the cabinet and the drawer. The detecting system is configured to sense a proximity of the target element to the sensor element.
