A method for controlling a laundry treating apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a main-drum and an auxiliary-drum selectively mounted on or separated from the main-drum. The method may comprise: a main laundry quantity detection operation for detecting a laundry quantity in the main-drum via rotation of a pulsator disposed in the main-drum; and an auxiliary laundry quantity detection operation for detecting a laundry quantity in the auxiliary-drum by driving the main-drum, wherein the auxiliary laundry quantity detection operation is performed based on the main laundry quantity detected in the main laundry quantity detection operation.

A laundry treatment apparatus that includes: a cabinet; a first cabinet door; a second cabinet door; a first washing apparatus; and a second washing apparatus including: a tub that is accessible through a second opening in a state in which the second cabinet door is opened, that is configured to store water, and that includes a tub opening at a top of the tub, a tub cover that is coupled to the tub and that covers the tub opening, and a drum that is configured to rotate about a shaft, the shaft extending in the second direction, wherein the tub cover includes an air channel unit that is configured to transfer air between an interior area of the tub and an exterior area of the tub in a state in which the second washing apparatus is operational is disclosed.

The present invention relates to a laundry machine having a drying function for drying an object to be dried, especially clothes. In the laundry machine according to one embodiment of the present invention, lint and the like that may be contained in the hot air are removed by the filter, whereby the lint and the like can be prevented from being piled on the duct. Also, the filter is placed in a way that it is exposed into the tub, whereby the filter can be cleaned automatically while it is being driven.

The present disclosure relates to a clothes treating apparatus and a control method thereof, the clothes treating apparatus being an integrated washing machine in which a washer-dryer combo and a dryer are stacked, comprising: a circulation duct that circulates air inside the washing/drying machine or the dryer; and a filter unit that is provided in the circulation duct, wherein the filter unit may be cleaned using an external water supply source in addition to condensed water.

A double-drum washing machine has a first washing drum and a second washing drum. A control method comprises water intake and drainage control and high-power process control, wherein the water intake and drainage control comprises water intake control and water drainage control; the first washing drum judges whether to reuse drained water of the second washing drum before executing a water intake process and judges whether to enable the drained water to be drained into the second washing drum and reuse the water or not before executing a water drainage process; and the high-power process control is used for controlling any one of a heating process, a dewatering process and a drying process of the first washing drum and any one of a heating process, a dewatering process and a drying process of the second washing drum not to be executed at the same time.

An apparatus comprising: a washing machine, a drying machine disposed on the washing machine, and a control panel. The control panel including a first user interface configured to control the washing machine, a second user interface configured to control the drying machine, a first start/pause button configured to receive an input for starting or pausing an operating of the washing machine, a second user interface configured to receive an input for controlling the drying machine, and a display configured to display operation information of the washing machine and operation information of the drying machine. The apparatus configured to control an operation of the drying machine in response to an input received through the second start/pause button while operation information of the washing machine is displayed on the display.

A control panel for clothes dryer and clothes dryer. The control panel for clothes dryer includes an operation panel and a mounting panel which can be detachably connected. The operation panel is electrically connected to a control device of the clothes dryer, and is configured to send a control signal to the control device and receive a display signal sent by the control device.
