A washing machine is disclosed. The present washing machine comprises: a motor for driving a spin-dry tub such that a maximum rotational speed of the spin-dry tub has a preset value during spin-drying; and a processor for acquiring dry clothes weight and wet clothes weight of laundry put into the spin-dry tub, determining whether the washing machine is overloaded in the spin-drying on the basis of the acquired dry clothes weight and wet clothes weight, and controlling driving of the motor such that the maximum rotational speed of the motor is a value less than the preset value during the spin-drying, if the washing machine is determined to be overloaded.

The present disclosure relates to a clothing treatment apparatus comprising: a cabinet having a first side panel and a second side panel, an upper panel and a lower panel, and a rear panel; a first base having a front panel which is fixed to the first side panel, the second side panel, the upper panel, and the lower panel and forms a front surface of the cabinet, and an input hole which is provided to penetrate the front panel; a first chamber which is positioned in the cabinet and provides a space for accommodating clothes; a second base; a second chamber; a supply unit in the second chamber and supplying at least one of air and moisture into the first chamber; and a heat insulation unit formed by foaming plastic in a foam space formed between the cabinet, the first base, the first chamber, and the second base.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a tub configured to hold wash water, a drum rotatably supported in the tub and including a shaft disposed perpendicular with the ground, and a sub-drum detachably mounted to an inner circumferential surface of the drum and configured to wash laundry independently from the drum. An information tag is disposed in the sub-drum, the tag containing information about the laundry. A reading unit is configured to acquire the information about the laundry from the information tag. A control unit is configured to determine a washing course to be performed in the sub-drum based on the information acquired by the reading unit.

An amount of laundry that is introduced into a washing machine is determined by identifying gravitational and inertia forces applied during the operation of a motor, whereby it is possible to precisely calculate the amount of laundry and to minimize the effects of the initial position of the laundry and the movement of the laundry. In addition, the current value of the motor that is operated is used to measure the amount of laundry without a sensor. Furthermore, the amount of laundry is measured at the rotational speed of the motor at which the laundry clings to the drum, whereby it is possible to minimize error due to the movement of the laundry to thus improve accuracy. Moreover, it is possible to determine the amount of laundry within a short time. Consequently, it is easy to commence the spin-drying operation, thereby reducing washing time and saving energy.

An apparatus for a laundry treating appliance can include a tub carrying a first basket defining a first treating chamber. A removable basket assembly can be included in the laundry treating appliance selectively carried at least partially within the first basket. A portion of the second basket can be sloped complementary to a portion of the second basket or a portion of the second basket in order to form a liquid-tight seal between the first basket and the second basket.

A laundry machine having a refreshing operation and a control method of the same are disclosed. The disclosed method comprises a steam water supply operation of supplying wash water to a tub up to a water level for generation of steam while preventing the wash water to pass through a drum, when the refreshing course is selected, a steaming operation of heating the wash water by driving a washing heater, thereby generating steam, and a refreshing operation of refreshing the laundry by alternately executing, after the steaming operation, a tumbling driving operation to tumble the laundry within the drum through rotation of the drum and a spin driving operation to rotate the laundry within the drum in close contact with an inner surface of the drum, in accordance with high-speed rotation of the drum.

A laundry treating appliance includes a first basket assembly including a first basket defining a first treating chamber for receiving laundry for treatment in a first wash environment. A balance ring forms an upper periphery of the first basket assembly and is operably coupled to the first basket. A second basket is selectively receivable within at least a portion of the first treating chamber. The second basket defines a second treating chamber for receiving laundry for treatment in a second wash environment.

A laundry appliance includes a cabinet, a tub, and a control panel for accepting inputs directing functionality of the laundry appliance. When movement of the laundry appliance is necessary, such as upon initial delivery, laundry appliance includes one or more shipping attachment assemblies comprising a shipping bolt and shipping bolt spacer, which connect to attachment elements of the tub and serve to stabilize the tub while laundry appliance is moved. The laundry appliance further includes identifiers for each shipping attachment assembly. The identifiers are only visible upon removal of the shipping attachment assembly. When moving of the laundry appliance is complete, the shipping attachment assemblies are removed, revealing the identifiers. The identifiers are provided through a network to ensure removal of the shipping attachment assemblies. Once all identifiers are accounted for, a sequence of inputs is provided that, when properly entered using the control panel of the laundry appliance, enables operation of the laundry appliance.

Various implementations include a laundry fur remover. The laundry fur remover includes a body and one or more protrusions. The body has a body outer surface and a body maximum dimension. The one or more protrusions are coupled to and extend outwardly from the body outer surface. At least one of the one or more protrusions has a protrusion maximum dimension. At least a portion of the body or the one or more protrusions comprises a polymer. The body maximum dimension is greater than the protrusion maximum dimension.
