A laundry treating apparatus having a tub, a drum rotatably disposed inside the tub and configured to store laundry therein, and a connector connecting the drum to a rotary shaft of a motor for transferring a rotation power to the drum. The connector includes a first body having a first body hub and a first body arm, a second body having a second body hub and a second body arm extending along the first body arm, connecting portions spaced apart from each other and connecting the first body and the second body in a manner that the first body is spaced apart from the second body, and a rib disposed between a pair of the connecting portions. The rib protrudes from one of the first body arm and the second body arm and is spaced apart from the other of the first body arm and the second body arm.

A filter assembly configured for being used in combination with a machine for drying laundry is disclosed. The filter assembly comprises a frame, a duct defined in the frame configured for being passed through by an airflow, an inlet section configured for allowing the airflow to have access to the duct and an outlet section configured for allowing the airflow to leave the duct. The filter assembly comprises a filter configured for intercepting the airflow and for separating from the airflow possible solid particles carried by the airflow, the filter acting between the inlet section and the outlet section and storage configured for storing the solid particles separated from the airflow.

The present disclosure concerns a method performed by at least one device, including: acquiring location data indicative of a location of a device which may be placed in a liquid- and/or gas-carrying household appliance; determining treatment chamber data indicative of a conclusion as to whether or not the at least one device is placed in a treatment chamber of the household appliance, the treatment chamber data being determined at least partially based on the acquired location data; and outputting or causing the output of the determined treatment chamber data. Furthermore, the present disclosure concerns a device and a system.

A fabric treating apparatus includes a casing that includes a treating chamber and a machinery room that is located below the treating chamber. The fabric treating apparatus further includes a base that is located at a bottom of the machinery room. The fabric treating apparatus further includes a heat pump module that is configured to condition air supplied to the treating chamber. The fabric treating apparatus further includes at least one supporter that is configured to support the heat pump module and that defines a space between the base and the heat pump module. The fabric treating apparatus further includes a steam generating module that is located in the space and that is configured to generate steam and supply steam to the treating chamber. The fabric treating apparatus further includes a controller that is configured to control at least one of the heat pump module or the steam generating module.

A laundry treating appliance includes a rotatable basket defining a treating chamber for receiving a load of laundry items for treatment, and an annular balance rings defining an annular chamber within, coupled with the basket for rotation therewith. The basket can further comprise a pair of walls comprising a perforated inner wrapper and an outer wall defining a space therebetween. The space fluidly couples to the annular chamber, permitting liquid to flow from the treating chamber, into the space and into the annular chamber to provide a restoring force to the system. The annular balance ring can further comprise a plurality of passages, fluidly coupling the treating chamber to the annular chamber.

A clothes treating device includes: a cabinet; a tub having an inlet at an upper part; a drum provided inside the tub and having a through-hole on a bottom surface thereof; a stirring part rotatably disposed in through-hole; a driving part provided on the lower part of the stirring part so as to provide power for rotating the stirring part and/or the drum; and a coupling provided between the stirring part and the driving part so as to be rotated by the power, and provided so as to rotate the stirring part and the drum in different directions or rotate only the stirring part when a water level of the tub is greater than or equal to a certain water level, and to rotate the stirring part and the drum in the same direction when the water level is less than to the certain water level.
