Fabric treating appliance comprising a bulk dispenser
A fabric treating appliance comprising a cabinet defining an interior and having a top wall defining an access opening. A cover movable relative to the cabinet between opened/closed positions to selectively close the access opening. A tub located within the interior and having an upper edge defining an open top, a rotatable basket located within the tub and having an upper edge defining a loading opening. A tank defining a bulk dispensing reservoir positioned in the cabinet, and a timer valve that is fluidly coupled to the bulk dispensing reservoir. A time selector is located on the tank and operably coupled to the timer valve. The time selector has non-time selection indicia such as load amount, liquid volume, or soil level. The timer valve is a mechanical timer valve.
Laundry treating apparatus
Disclosed is a laundry treating apparatus including a tub for providing therein a space for water to be stored, a drum rotatably disposed inside the tub and providing therein a space for clothes to be stored, wherein the drum includes an open surface for inserting and withdrawing the clothes therethrough and a bottom surface located on an opposite side of the open surface, a pulsator rotatably disposed on the bottom surface and inside the drum, an agitator protruding from the pulsator inside the drum and extending toward the open surface, wherein the agitator is rotatably disposed at a center of the pulsator, and a driver configured to drive at least one of the drum, the pulsator, and the agitator. The pulsator and the agitator may be configured to rotate in opposite directions.
AGITATOR ASSEMBLY WITH SCRUB BRUSH FOR A FABRIC TREATING APPLIANCE
A fabric treating appliance having an agitator assembly comprising a base and a tower extending upwardly from the base and terminating in an upper portion with an opening. A centrifugally actuated dispensing cup located within the upper portion and fluidly coupled to the opening. The agitator includes a scrub brush that can be mounted to the upper portion.
LAUNDRY TREATING APPLIANCE AND METHOD OF CONTROL
A method and apparatus for a laundry treating appliance dispense treating chemistry into a rotating basket. A dispenser can be a centrifugal dispenser adapted to move or dispense treating chemistry based upon rotational movement of a basket. The dispenser can include a holding pocket to hold a volume of treating chemistry, a transferring pocket to centrifugally receive the treating chemistry, and a dilution pocket to dilute the treating chemistry and dispenser the treating chemistry.

Laundry treating appliance laundry mover with liquid diverter
A laundry mover for a laundry treating appliance may include a protrusion located on an upper side of the laundry mover and forming an open-bottom cavity. The protrusion may have at least one opening fluidly communicating the cavity with a portion of the treating chamber above the protrusion. A diverter may be located on a lower side of the laundry mover such that rotation of the laundry mover brings the diverter into contact with liquid in a portion of the treating chamber underneath the laundry mover, and the diverter directs the liquid through the cavity to expel the liquid through the at least one opening.

LAUNDRY TREATING APPLIANCE WITH REMOVABLE BASKET
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.
LAUNDRY TREATING APPARATUS
A laundry treating apparatus includes a drum and a rotator. The rotator includes a bottom portion disposed to cover at least a portion of a bottom surface of the drum, a pillar protruding from the bottom portion toward an open surface of the drum, and a blade disposed on an outer surface of the pillar and configured to generate a water flow. The bottom portion defines a communication hole communicating the inner space with an exterior of the bottom portion. Accordingly, the rotator may utilize the inner space to improve a space efficiency. In addition, the rotator may be rotated stably because the rotator is prevented from receiving a large buoyancy force during washing. In addition, a cleaning water flow may be generated inside the bottom portion of the rotator, so that a hygiene condition may be improved.
LAUNDRY TREATING APPARATUS
Disclosed is a laundry treating apparatus having a rotator. The rotator includes a bottom portion positioned on a bottom surface of a drum, a pillar protruding from the bottom portion toward an open surface of the drum, and a blade protruding from an outer circumferential surface of the pillar, wherein the blade extends from one end thereof facing toward the bottom surface to the other end thereof facing toward the open surface, and the blade is disposed such that said one end thereof is spaced apart from the bottom portion. As such, a washing power may be increased regardless of an amount of laundry, and a torque load of a driver may be reduced.
