A method of supplying and replenishing a laundry dosing system with one or more reservoirs providing stocks of components for laundry includes monitoring consumption of each of the components in the one or more reservoirs; automatically determining when each one or more reservoirs need replenishment from the monitoring; and replenishing one or more components in response to a monitoring result.

A laundry treating appliance includes a treating chamber provided for receiving laundry for treatment, a controller having a memory in which is stored a set of executable instructions including a set of cycles of operations. The laundry treating appliance also includes a user interface operably coupled with the controller and having a touchscreen configured to provide an input and output function for the controller.

A laundry treating appliance includes a cabinet defining an interior, a drum located within the interior and defining a treating chamber, and a door assembly coupled to the cabinet to selectively open and close the treating chamber and at least partially defining the treating chamber when the door assembly is in a closed condition. The door assembly includes an intermediate door defining an opening, a user interface, a door window, a door cover adjacent the front surface of the intermediate door, a rear door, and a trim element.

A laundry treatment machine includes: a cabinet which forms an outer shape and has an input port through which laundry is input; a tub which is disposed inside the cabinet and stores washing water; a drum which is rotatably disposed inside the tub; a microphone assembly in which a plurality of microphones for speech recognition are spaced apart; a door which opens and closes the input port, and has an inner front surface, on which the microphone assembly is disposed, to which the microphone assembly is closely attached, that comprises a microphone hole, which communicates with the outside, formed in each portion where the plurality of microphones are disposed, so that it is possible to eliminate a space where the sound leakage occurs between the microphone assembly and the door.

Present application discloses control method of controlling operation mode of washing machine by communication with washing machine. Control method includes obtaining vibration information indicative of vibration of washing tub of washing machine operating in predetermined first operation mode as operation mode; extracting predetermined feature amount having correlation with strength of floor on which washing machine is placed from vibration information; estimating strength of floor from extracted feature amount; determining whether or not operation mode needs to be changed from first operation mode based on estimated strength; and when determination is made that operation mode needs to be changed from first operation mode, outputting, to washing machine, instruction to change operation mode from first operation mode to second operation mode different from first operation mode.

A laundry treating appliance and method of operating a laundry treating appliance includes a treating chamber receiving laundry for treating, a dispenser fluidly coupled to the treating chamber and a faucet. A water supply circuit includes a hot water inlet and a cold water inlet supplying hot water, cold water, or a mixture of hot and cold water to the faucet.

A laundry treatment appliance having: a drawer comprising first and second compartments each being adapted to contain multiple doses of a treatment agent for laundry treatment, first and second pumps adapted to draw up treatment agent doses from the first and second compartments, respectively, and a control unit for controlling the first and second pumps, wherein the control unit is configured to cause the first and second pumps to coordinately draw up the treatment agent doses over at least one washing cycle by determining a gradual concurrent emptying of the first and second compartments over said at least one washing cycle.

The laundry processing device according to the present invention comprises: a first washing unit for doing laundry; and a second washing unit having a washing space independent from the first washing unit and provided with a tub of a smaller capacity than the first washing unit, wherein the first washing unit comprises: a first display unit; a first laundry amount detecting unit for measuring the amount of laundry in the first washing unit; and a first control unit for displaying, on the first display unit, a guide message recommending use of the second washing unit if the amount of laundry measured by the first laundry amount detecting unit is less than a first set value. When the amount of laundry is relatively small, the user is induced to use the second washing unit, thereby reducing power consumption.

A laundry washing machine and method utilize a fluid property sensor to dynamically select between different types of rinse operations, e.g., fill rinse operations or spin rinse operations, performed during a wash cycle.

Provided is a washing machine and control method thereof. The washing machine includes at least one magnet attached to an auxiliary wash tub detachable from a main wash tub; a switching device configured to output a detection signal when the at least one magnet approaches within a preset range to the switching device; and a controller configured to determine whether the auxiliary wash tub is installed based on whether the detection signal of the switching device is output, and control a component in the washing machine based on the determination of whether the auxiliary wash tub is installed.
