An apparatus for a laundry treating appliance including a first basket defining a first treating chamber for receiving laundry for treatment according to a selected cycle of operation. A first clothes mover can be provided in the first treating chamber. A removable basket assembly can include a second basket with a second clothes mover. A transmitter can be included in the removable basket assembly for operably coupling the second clothes mover to the first clothes mover.

A fluid flow system for a laundry appliance includes a blower that delivers process air along an airflow path having a heat exchanger. A drain channel receives condensate from the heat exchanger and fluid spray from a spray nozzle for directing lint particles to the drain channel and on to a sump for collecting fluid, including the condensate. A pump seat and a fluid outlet are integrally formed in a sump cover. A pump directs the fluid from the sump to the fluid outlet. A fluid level sensor detects at least minimum and maximum capacities of the fluid in the sump. When the fluid is below the minimum capacity, the pump defines an idle state. When the fluid reaches the minimum capacity, the pump defines an active state. When the fluid exceeds the maximum capacity, the pump directs the fluid to the fluid outlet.

A home appliance control system includes at least one home appliance, a server, a scheduler, and terminal devices. The server is configured to communicate with the at least one home appliance and may be configured to control an operation of the at least one home appliance. The scheduler may be stored in the server and configured to store each of schedule information of a plurality of users. The terminal devices are configured to access the scheduler. The terminal devices are configured to send the schedule information to the scheduler. The server is configured to control the operation of the at least one home appliance based on common schedule information among the schedule information of the users stored in the scheduler.

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 clothes drying system includes an apparatus that comprises a drying air circuit. A temperature sensor provides a signal indicative of a temperature of an environment outside the apparatus. A memory and processing circuitry is coupled to the memory. The memory includes logic that, when executed by the processing circuitry, directs at least one of: (i) a vent air control valve to change an amount of heated air flowing from the drum through the vent air control valve and into the environment based on the signal from the temperature sensor, (ii) a fan to change a flow rate of air flowing through the drying air circuit based on the signal from the temperature sensor, and (iii) a heater to change an amount of heat provided to the air flowing through the drying air circuit based on the signal from the temperature sensor.

A method of operating a laundry treating appliance with a treating chamber for treating a load of laundry the method comprising supplying a rinse to the treating chamber during a rinse cycle, rotating the treating chamber at a tumbling speed, spinning the treating chamber in an extraction cycle to remove excess moisture from the load of laundry, sensing a parameter indicative of a remaining moisture content value in the load of laundry, comparing the remaining moisture content value to a pre-determined remaining moisture content value.

A laundry appliance includes a blower that selectively delivers process air through an airflow path. A rotating drum defines a portion of the airflow path. The rotating drum is attached to a drive shaft that rotates the rotating drum about a rotational axis. The blower and the drive shaft are operated by a common motor. A heater selectively delivers heat to the airflow path. The heater defines an energizing state when a motor current delivered to the common motor is within a predetermined motor current range that is indicative of the common motor operating. The heater defines an idle state when the motor current is outside of the predetermined motor current range.

A method for controlling a laundry management apparatus comprising a washing unit and a drying unit that are operated by a single operation unit and remotely controlled to manage hygiene of the drying unit, is provided.

A washing machine appliance, as provided herein may include a cabinet, a tub housed within the cabinet, a basket rotatably mounted within the tub, a measurement device attached to the tub, a motor, and a controller. The motor may be in mechanical communication with the basket. The motor may be configured to selectively rotate the basket within the tub. The controller may be in operative communication with the motor and the measurement device. The controller may be configured to initiate an operation cycle. The operation cycle may include spinning the basket at a set dwell speed during a predetermined dwell period, measuring movement of the tub during the predetermined dwell period, determining an out-of-balance mass within the basket based on the measured movement, and halting the basket in response to determining the out-of-balance mass.
