The present disclosure relates to a laundry treatment machine and a method for controlling the same. An increased amount of wash water during dewatering is introduced into a pump by decreasing the speed of a pump motor provided in the pump and increasing it again based on changes in the speed of the main motor during dewatering, and the wash water introduced while the speed of the pump motor is increasing is drained. Thus, the amount of noise generated during drainage may be reduced, drainage performance may be improved, and drainage time may be shortened.

Provided is a laundry treatment machine including a washing tub, a washing tub motor configured to rotate the washing tub, a drain pump configured to operate to drain the washing tub, a motor configured to operate the drain pump, a converter configured to output DC power, an inverter configured to convert the DC power, a dc terminal voltage detector configured to detect a dc terminal voltage output from the converter, and a controller configured to, when the dc terminal voltage continuously drops during a first period based on an operation of the inverter, perform control to turn off the inverter and operate the converter after the first period. Accordingly, it is possible to stably drive based on the dc terminal voltage during the operation of the drain pump.

A laundry appliance may include a cabinet, a drum, a door, a transmitter power coil, a receiver power coil, and an electronic component. The drum may be mounted within the cabinet. The drum may define a space for the receipt of articles therein. The door may be movably mounted to the cabinet to selectively restrict access to the drum. The transmitter power coil may be mounted to the cabinet proximal to the door. The receiver power coil may be mounted to the door in selective electromagnetic communication with the transmitter power coil to receive an electromagnetic field therefrom. The electronic component may be in electrical communication with the receiver power coil to receive power therefrom.

The present invention relates drying clothes and other fabrics. The present invention further relates to a cold-air system for removing moisture from fabric. The present invention even further relates to a system for drying fabrics in a closed, non-exhausted system. The present invention even further relates to a free-standing, low energy appliance for drying fabrics.

Disclosed is a washing machine having an improved wire connection structure for electrically connecting electrical components. The washing machine includes a cabinet which has a first electrical component, forms an exterior, and has an opening through which laundry is inserted; a door provided with a second electrical component, and configured to open and close the opening; a wire which electrically connects the first electrical component and the second electrical component; and a hinge which has a wire guide portion for coupling the door to the cabinet so as to be rotatable about a rotating axis and for guiding the wire.

A laundry or dryer appliance may include a cabinet, a drum, a transmitter power coil, and an additive dispensing assembly. The transmitter power coil may be mounted to the cabinet proximal to the door. The additive dispensing assembly may include a fluid pump, a receiver power coil, and a dispenser nozzle. The fluid pump may motivate a volume of a liquid additive therefrom for an additive mist to the drum. The receiver power coil may be in selective wireless communication with the transmitter power coil to receive an electromagnetic field therefrom. The receiver power coil may be operably coupled to the fluid pump. The dispenser nozzle may be directed toward the drum downstream from the fluid pump to guide the volume of the liquid additive into the space defined by the drum.
