摘要： A laundry appliance includes a cabinet. A drum disposed within the cabinet and has an inner circumferential wall. At least one lifter is operably coupled to the inner circumferential wall of the drum. A motor is operably coupled to the drum and is disposed within the cabinet. A controller is disposed within the cabinet and is communicatively coupled to the motor. A negatively-charged member selectively disposed within the drum. A negative charge is configured to attract oppositely-charged foreign substrates to the negatively-charged member. The negatively-charged member is selectively coupled to the at least one lifter.

摘要： Disclosed herein is a method of controlling a laundry treating apparatus, if a user selects a uniform course, including performing a preheating operation of a heater to generate steam, performing a first cooling operation to operate a blower unit and a moving hanger after the preheating operation has been terminated, performing a steam operation to operate the blower unit and a steam unit and to circulate steam to a treating chamber after the first cooling operation has been terminated, performing a standby operation to operate the blower unit after the steam operation has been terminated, performing a second cooling operation to operate the blower unit after the standby operation has been terminated, and performing a drying operation to operate the blower unit and a heat pump unit and to provide heat to the treating chamber to dry the treating chamber after the second cooling operation has been terminated.

摘要： A control method for a clothes drying apparatus that aims to solve the problem of a load being prone to entangling when an existing clothes drying apparatus is used for drying a large load. For this purpose, the control method for a clothes drying apparatus includes: determining the size of a load in a load determining stage; and when the load is a large load, controlling a drying drum to rotate unidirectionally in a first heating stage, and controlling the drying drum to alternately rotate normally and reversely in a second heating stage. Accordingly, a drying effect can be guaranteed while the load is effectively prevented from being knotted and entangled, and the drying time is shortened.
