A method of operating a dryer appliance includes performing a first sensor cycle of the dryer appliance. The first sensor cycle includes rotating a drum of the dryer appliance and activating a heating system of the dryer appliance according to a first set of cycle parameters. The method also includes detecting one or more user interactions with the dryer appliance and inferring from the one or more detected user interactions that the dry performance of the first sensor cycle was unsatisfactory. The method further includes defining a second set of cycle parameters in response to the one or more detected user interactions. The method also includes performing a second sensor dry cycle of the dryer appliance according to the second set of cycle parameters after the first sensor dry cycle.

Dryer appliances are provided herein including a cabinet having a lower panel and a drum rotatably mounted within the cabinet. The drum defines a chamber for receipt of articles for drying. A drawer is removably mounted to the cabinet and includes a front wall, a rear wall, and sidewalls extended between the front wall and the rear wall. The drawer forms a lint collection bin. A filter assembly is removably positionable within the lint collection bin. The filter assembly abuts the lower panel of the cabinet when the drawer is in a closed position.

The present disclosure relates to a clothing treatment apparatus comprising: a first cabinet forming the outer appearance; a first drum of a cylindrical shape having open front and rear surfaces; a second cabinet located under the first cabinet; a tub located in the second cabinet; a second drum located in the tub to be rotatable and accommodating clothing; a first air suction duct for sucking the air in the first drum; a second air suction duct for sucking the air in the tub; a connection duct connected to the first air suction duct and the second air suction duct and including a heat exchanger for exchanging heat with the sucked air; a first exhaust duct for discharging the air, which has exchanged heat via the heat exchanger, to the first drum; and a second exhaust duct for discharging the air, which has exchanged heat via the heat exchanger, to the tub.

A clothing treatment apparatus includes a cabinet; a container having a front surface having an opening, a rear surface having an exhaust port, and a body extending between the front surface and the rear surface; a drum in the container; an induction heater is arranged on an outer surface of the body of the container to heat the drum; a supply duct arranged on an outer side of the container and including an outlet portion connected to the front surface of the container; an exhaust duct connected to the supply duct and in communication with the exhaust port; and a ventilation portion for generating the air flow from the exhaust duct toward the supply duct. The front surface of the container includes an inlet port located outside the opening and the outlet portion of the supply duct is in communication with the inlet port of the container.

A clothes dryer including a cabinet, a drum rotatably installed inside the cabinet, a heat pump provided to generate hot air to be supplied to the inside of the drum, a fan provided to induce the hot air generated by the heat pump to the inside of the drum, a hot air supply duct connected to a rear surface of the drum to guide the hot air induced by the fan to the inside of the drum, a scroll provided to accommodate the fan to guide the hot air discharged from the fan to the hot air supply duct, and a discharge duct provided to connect the scroll and the hot air supply duct, wherein a rear surface of the scroll is positioned in front of a rear surface of the hot air supply duct, and the scroll is disposed obliquely in a direction of facing the rear surface of the hot air supply duct.
