A laundry appliance includes a tub contained within an outer cabinet. A motor assembly is attached to the tub having a first rotor and a second rotor that operate about a common rotational axis. A drum is disposed within the tub and coupled with the first rotor to rotationally operable about the common rotational axis. A blower is coupled to the second rotor and disposed within the tub to rotationally operate about the common rotational axis to deliver process air through an airflow path that includes a processing space defined within the drum. The blower is positioned within a blower housing that is positioned between the tub and the drum.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a tub, a drum rotatably provided in the tub, an induction heater which is fixed to the tub, is spaced apart from the drum, and heats the drum, a first circuit including a first coil installed in the tub, a power supply unit which applies AC power to the first coil, and a second circuit installed in the drum and including a second coil disposed in a position overlapping with the first coil in a length direction of a rotational central shaft of the drum and a thermistor having a resistance that varies based on a temperature.

A combination washing and drying appliance includes a tub positioned within an outer cabinet. A rotating drum includes a perforated wall. The rotating drum is rotationally operable within the tub. A blower delivers process air through an airflow path that includes a processing space within the rotating drum and an interstitial space defined between the tub and the rotating drum. An operable vent is selectively operable between a venting position and a closed position. The operable vent defines a passive flow of ambient air between the processing space and an area outside of the tub. The operable vent is operable to the closed position during a spin function of the rotating drum.

The present disclosure relates to a method for controlling a garment processing device, the method comprising: a foreign-material separating step of rotating a drum rotatably provided inside a tub that stores water such that friction occurs between garments inside the drum and the water; a drain step of discharging the water inside the tub to the outside of the tub; a first maintenance step of maintaining the rate of rotation of the drum, after same has reached a preconfigured first rate, at the first rate; a first measurement step of measuring the degree of imbalance occurring in the drum while the drum rotates at the first rate; a second maintenance step of increasing the rate of rotation of the drum to a predetermined second rate, if a first measured value measured in the first measurement step is equal to/below a preconfigured first reference value, and then maintaining same at the second rate; a second measurement step of measuring the degree of imbalance occurring in the drum while the drum rotates at the second rate; stopping the drum from rotating if a second measured value measured in the second measurement step is equal to/below a preconfigured second reference value; and a dewatering step of accelerating the drum to a third rate configured to be higher than the second rate, thereby removing water from the garments. The dewatering step is stopped if the degree of imbalance of the drum measured during the drum is accelerated to the third rate is larger than a predetermined imbalance reference value, and the imbalance reference value is configured on the basis of the second measured value.

A laundry treating apparatus is disclosed. The laundry treating apparatus includes a first treating apparatus, a second treating apparatus, and a control panel disposed signally connected to the first treating apparatus and the second treating apparatus, and the first treating apparatus includes a lower frame disposed rearward of the control panel and coupled to the control panel to fix the control panel.

A clothes treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a steam generator configured to generate steam, and a solution storing container configured to store a solution. The clothes treating apparatus also includes a steam spraying portion that is coupled to the steam generator and that is configured to spray steam and a solution spraying portion that is coupled to the solution storing container and that is configured to spray the solution. The steam spraying portion is configured to spray steam to control air pressure at the outlet of the solution spraying portion.

An appliance includes an external communication port, such as an RJ45 port, and a wireless communication module in wireless communication with a remote server through an external network. In addition, a controller includes a boot loader segment and is configured to receive a request to access the boot loader segment of the controller, transmit a notification of the request to the remote server using the wireless communication module, receive an access determination from the remote server, e.g., such as an access authorization or denial from an owner, and regulate access to the boot loader segment based at least in part on the access determination.

The present invention discloses a laundry box, comprising a laundry box body, a seal cover and a drain fence, wherein laundry box water inlets and a laundry box drain outlet are provided at the bottom of the laundry box body, a decontamination conductor plate is provided in the middle thereof, a clothes placing port is provided at the top of the laundry box body, and the seal cover is hinged at the clothes placing port; and the drain fence is detachably mounted inside the laundry box body and is located at the side end close to the drain outlet. The present invention further discloses a machine for separately washing clothes designed to be used in conjunction with the laundry box, comprising a housing, a main machine, a cover plate and at least two laundry boxes.
