A laundry treating apparatus having a tub configured to store water, a drum rotatably disposed inside the tub and configured to store laundry therein and a connector connecting the drum to a rotary shaft of a motor for transferring a rotation power to the drum. The connector includes a body hub fixed to the drum and coupled to the rotary shaft, and a body arm fixed to the drum and extending from the body hub in a direction away from the body hub. The body arm has holes penetrating the body arm and allowing water to pass therethrough.

A laundry appliance includes a drum that processes laundry. A blower delivers process air from a heater to the drum via an airflow path. A structural panel defines a front aperture for accessing an interior of the drum and an air channel that defines a portion of the airflow path. The structural panel includes a lower first portion that is made of a first material and an upper second portion that is made of a second material that is different from the first material. The first and second materials meet at a predetermined seam that extends through the structural panel and the air channel.

The present disclosure relates to a dryer. The dryer of the present disclosure includes a cabinet forming an exterior, a drum rotatably installed inside the cabinet, a heat pump module including an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and an expander through which a refrigerant circulates to supply hot and dry air into the drum, a compressor chamber housing configured to reduce noise generated by the compressor and form a compressor chamber which is a space through which air flows around an outer periphery of the compressor, and a cooling fan configured to cause air to flow into the compressor chamber.

An automatic laundry treating appliance having at least one sensor configured to detect the height of laundry in a treating chamber of the automatic laundry treating appliance is disclosed. Based upon the output of the sensors, a human-perceptible signal is generated to indicate whether the laundry load is below, within or above an optimal range for the laundry load. Further, the automatic laundry treating appliance may communicate to the user after completion of a drying function information related to whether the amount of laundry treated during the drying function exceeded an upper limit for an optimal amount of laundry based upon data acquired during the drying function.
