An apparatus for securing items to the drum of a washer or dryer includes a plate with a first finger lift and a second finger lift, strap apertures, cutout portions, coupling apertures, and a drum coupler. The first and second finger lifts may protrude from the plate, allowing a user to pull on and detach the plate from the drum. The strap apertures may receive straps therein so as to couple an item, such as a shoe, knee pads, cap, etc., to the plate. Further, the coupling apertures may comprise protrusions to receive a bracket, which may be pivotally coupled to the coupling apertures, allowing the bracket to pivot.

A clothes treatment apparatus (100) and a control method thereof are disclosed. The clothes treatment apparatus (100) includes a cabinet (1) closed by a door (3) and an accommodation space (2) provided in the cabinet (1), consisting for example of a first accommodation space (21) and a second accommodation space (23), wherein a mechanism chamber (25) is provided. The clothes treatment apparatus (100) includes a fixed nozzle device (4) comprising heated air supply holes (41), steam supply holes (43) and detergent supply holes (45) and a moving nozzle device (5) which reciprocates along a guide part (51). Clothes are held by a hanger (7) in the accommodation space (2).

An apparatus and method for a low pressure laundry treating appliance having a cabinet defining an interior, and a drum provided within the interior, the drum including at least an inner wall and an outer wall. Pressure differentiations and flash evaporation can enable drying without excess use of conventional heating methods.

An apparatus and method for reducing displacement of a washing machine having a drum rotatable about an axis of rotation is disclosed. The washing machine comprises a chassis and a motor for rotation a drum. The drum is suspended from the chassis by a suspension. The suspension can comprise springs having six natural frequencies that can resonate at a rotational speed of the drum driven by the motor. The suspension system can be tuned such that resonant frequencies can be varied based upon rotational speed of the drum.

The laundry treating appliance can comprise a wash basket defining a washing chamber, having a clothes mover in the treating chamber to agitate the clothes during a cycle of operation for cleaning. The method can comprise supplying a wash liquid to the treating chamber and rotating the clothes mover within the treating chamber with an electric motor operating at a high duty cycle wash phase and a low duty cycle wash phase.

A washing machine with a liquid additive supply device capable of sensing an amount of liquid additive contained therein. A buoyancy body and a sensing unit are disposed in a reservoir tank of the liquid additive supply device. The vertical position and therefore the distance between the buoyancy body and a sensing unit vary with the surface level of liquid additive in the reservoir tank due to buoyancy effect. The buoyancy body may include a magnetic body and the sensing unit can detect the intensity of the magnetic body. The surface level of the liquid additive is too low, the sensing unit can generate a signal indicative of liquid additive shortage.
