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 treating apparatus include a tub, a water supply, a drum, and a rotator including a bottom portion positioned on a bottom surface of the drum, and a pillar protruding upward from the bottom portion, and a blade disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the pillar. The controller controls a driver such that the rotator performs a distribution motion after a water supply process and a washing motion after the distribution motion. An amount of rotation of the rotator in the distribution motion is less than an amount of rotation of the rotator in the washing motion. A driving load of the driver is reduced by reducing a moment of inertia acting on the rotator by separating laundry from the rotator. With the reduced driving load, the driver may be easily controlled, and a water flow for washing may be efficiently formed.
