A front-load laundry appliance includes a drum that is rotationally operable within a tub about a generally horizontal rotational axis. A plurality of lifters are coupled to an interior surface of the drum. A fluid delivery path is at least partially defined within the drum and the plurality of lifters. A fluid delivery system delivers fluid into the fluid delivery path in a direction parallel to the generally horizontal rotational axis.

An inner drum cover is provided at a drum opening of an inner drum of a washing machine, the inner drum cover is used to open or close the drum opening, so that the inner drum forms a closed container after the drum opening is closed by the inner drum cover. The inner drum can perform washing after the inner drum cover is correspondingly fastened to the drum opening, so that clothes only come into contact with washing water in the sealed inner drum in a washing process. In this way, a case in which the clothes are contaminated because washing water between the inner drum and an outer drum flows into the inner drum is avoided, washing cleanliness of the washing machine is greatly improved, and incomplete washing of the clothes caused by contamination of the washing water between the inner drum and the outer drum is avoided.

A laundry washing machine having a cabinet, a washing tub housed inside the cabinet, a drum rotatably housed inside the cabinet, an electric additive treating device mounted in/on the drum and configured for treating a washing and/or rinsing additive loaded within the drum in such a way to generate within the drum a solution of washing and/or rinsing additive water. A method for operating such a laundry washing machine is also provided.

A water reuse system and controller for controlling water levels, temperature, and quality in the rinse water reuse system and methods of using the same, in order to optimize water usage. More particularly, the application pertains to a controller and methods of using the controller to regulate water levels and water quality in a water reuse system. As part of detailing the controller and methods of using the same, an apparatus for a water reuse system is also provided.

A laundry lifting device for a washing machine includes a body with an accommodating chamber, a water inlet arranged in the body and communicated with the accommodating chamber, and a centrifugal drainage assembly arranged in the accommodating chamber. The centrifugal drainage assembly includes a sealing plunger capable of doing reciprocating motion and an elastic piece for elastically resetting the sealing plunger, the body is provided with a plunger base for installing the sealing plunger, and the elastic piece is kept limited in the plunger base in the reciprocating motion process of the sealing plunger. The elastic piece is installed in the plunger base in the sealing mode, and the elastic piece is kept limited in the plunger base in the reciprocating motion of the sealing plunger. So thread scraps are prevented from being hung on the elastic piece.

A laundry appliance including an appliance housing, a drum housing positioned in the appliance housing, and a drum that is configured to rotate inside the drum housing. A laundry compartment inside the drum is accessible through openings in the front of the appliance housing, drum housing, and drum. A front appliance door is pivotally connected to a front ring of the drum housing. A water recirculation insert is mounted to the front ring of the drum housing. The water recirculation insert includes a nozzle portion that extends through the front ring to a nozzle opening that is located inside the drum housing and configured to dispense recirculated fluid directly into the laundry compartment.

Disclosed is a washing machine including: a gasket, wherein the gasket includes a gasket body, forming a passage between a laundry entry hole formed in a casing and an opening formed in a tub, and a plurality of nozzles spraying water into a drum; and a distribution pipe supplying water pumped by a pump to the plurality of nozzles, wherein the distribution pipe includes a transport conduit disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the gasket, wherein the gasket body is divided into a front body positioned on the side of the casing and a rear body positioned on the side of the tub, wherein the rear body includes an accommodating part in which at least a portion of the transport conduit is disposed, and accordingly, it is possible to prevent intervention between the distribution pipe and any other structure around the gasket.

Provided is a clothes care apparatus which includes: a main body including a care room accommodating clothes; a machine room positioned below the care room; and a steam generator positioned inside the machine room, and including a case and a water level sensor configured to sense a level of water stored in the case, wherein the water level sensor includes: a housing coupleable to and decoupleable from the case; a plurality of electrodes supported by the housing; and an electrode membrane including an electrode membrane body respectively surrounding each of the plurality of electrodes, and an electrode hole formed in the electrode membrane body to respectively expose the plurality of electrodes to an outside of the electrode membrane body, wherein the electrode hole is further spaced apart from one end of the electrode membrane body than from another end of the electrode membrane body.

A laundry treating apparatus is disclosed. The laundry treating apparatus includes a first treating apparatus, a second treating apparatus, and a control panel disposed signally connected to the first treating apparatus and the second treating apparatus, and the first treating apparatus includes a lower frame disposed rearward of the control panel and coupled to the control panel to fix the control panel.

A washing machine appliance includes a camera assembly mounted in view of a wash chamber for obtaining images of the wash chamber. The lens of the camera assembly is positioned adjacent a water outlet of a water dispenser and a controller is configured to facilitate an automated cleaning method for the camera assembly, the method including obtaining one or more images of the wash chamber using the camera assembly, analyzing the one or more images to determine an image quality, determining that the image quality has dropped below a quality threshold, and operating the water dispenser to perform a lens cleaning operation in response to determining that the image quality has dropped below the quality threshold.
