A laundry appliance includes a cabinet defining a front opening in a front panel. The front opening is defined by a lip having a curved edge. The lip defines a plurality of apertures spaced-apart around the front opening. A tub is disposed within the cabinet. The tub defines an access opening aligned with the front opening. A drum is disposed within the tub. A bellows assembly extends between the cabinet and the tub. The bellows assembly includes a projection coupled to the curved edge of the cabinet. A deflector has a rim and a chute wherein the chute extends toward the drum. The rim is configured to snap-fit over the projection of the bellows assembly. The rim includes a plurality of hooks where each hook is configured to extend through an aperture and interlock with the cabinet.

A method of controlling a washing machine includes starting driving of a motor for rotating a drum and increasing a rotation speed of the motor to a first rotation speed, increasing the rotation speed of the motor from the first rotation speed to a second rotation speed, after the rotation speed of the motor have increased to the first rotation speed, and determining whether bubbles have been generated in the drum while the rotation speed of the motor increases to the second rotation speed. A difference between the second rotation speed and the first rotation speed is greater than the first rotation speed.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet having an entrance and a door, a tub having a tub entrance, a drum within the tub having a drum entrance, an insulating part having a first fixing body, a second fixing body, a connecting body connecting the first and second fixing bodies together to form a space for storing liquid therebetween, and an inflow pipe through the first fixing body, a storage part within the cabinet to provide a space for storing detergent therein, a storage part connecting pipe discharging the detergent of the storage part, an insulating part connecting pipe connected to the inflow pipe, a trap forming pipe between the storage part connecting pipe and the insulating part connecting pipe, and a decelerating part provided to the insulating part connecting pipe to decelerate a flow speed of water moving from the trap forming pipe to the insulating part connecting pipe.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet with an inlet; a tub configured to receive water, having a tub inlet facing the inlet; a drum rotatably disposed inside the tub, configured to receive laundry, and having a drum inlet facing the inlet; a storage provided inside the cabinet and configured to store detergent; a discharge pipe configured to discharge the detergent to an outside of the storage, made of an elastic body; an insulating body connecting the inlet with the tub inlet; an inlet pipe made of an elastic body, passing through a circumferential surface of the insulating body; and a connector having one end inserted into the discharge pipe and the other end inserted into the inlet pipe to connect the discharge pipe with the inlet pipe, made of a material different from that of each of the discharge pipe and the inlet pipe.

A storage container and a clothes treating machine including the same are described. The storage container is received in a detergent supply device and includes a cover portion including a cover rear protruding portion that protrudes outward from one side thereof. The storage container includes a detergent receiving portion including a container rear protruding portion that protrudes outward from one side thereof and that is aligned with the cover rear protruding portion. A user may grip the cover rear protruding portion provided in the cover portion to easily separate the cover portion and the detergent receiving portion. In addition, the user may grip the cover rear protruding portion and the container rear protruding portion to more easily separate the cover portion and the detergent receiving portion.
