WASHING MACHINE APPLIANCE AND A METHOD FOR PREVENTING OVERSUDS EVENTS
A washing machine appliance may include a tub, a basket, a valve, a spout, a dispenser, a motor, and a controller. The basket may be rotatably mounted and define a chamber for receipt of articles for washing. The valve may be disposed upstream from the tub. The spout may be directed at the tub downstream from the valve. The dispenser may be upstream from the tub for dispensing detergent into the tub. The motor may be in mechanical communication with the basket. The controller may be configured for controlling the washing machine appliance. The controller may be configured to initiate an oversuds-sensitive operation. The oversuds-sensitive operation may include detecting one or more resultant conditions from one or more previous wash cycles of the washing machine appliance, determining an adjusted operating parameter based on the detected resultant conditions, and directing detergent dispensing according to the adjusted operating parameter.
Laundry appliance
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.

Drum washing machine
A drum washing machine comprising: a casing (1), an outer cylinder (2) disposed in the casing (1), an inner cylinder (3) disposed in the casing (1), a door (4) provided on the casing (1), and a window gasket (5) for sealing provided between the casing (1) and the outer cylinder (2); wherein comprises: an inner cylinder front flange (32); a flow guiding structure (323) extending forward, which is provided on the inner cylinder front flange (32) and configured to introduce air into the inner cylinder (3) when entering into a spin phase; and a plurality of vents (541) opened at the window gasket (5) which are communicated with a space between the inner cylinder front flange (32) and the outer cylinder (2). When the drum washing machine enters into a spin phase to dewater, with the configuration of disposing the flow guiding structure (323) on the inner cylinder front flange (32), air in front of the inner cylinder front flange (32) could be introduced to the back side of it, and a negative pressure space could be created between the inner cylinder front flange (32) and the outer cylinder (2), and additionally, air around the window gasket (5) could enter into the space between the inner cylinder front flange (32) and the outer cylinder (2) by the vent (541) to create a high volume airflow circulating around the inner surface of the window gasket 5 to dry it quickly, which could speed up drying time, prevent the breeding of bacteria and eliminate the odor.
