The present relates to washing machines comprising a tub within in which a basket is housed which rotates concentrically within this, driven by a motor mechanically coupled to an agitator and to the basket, a clutch which allows the coupling and uncoupling between basket and agitator, an electronic control which controls actuators by means of drivers, at least one admission valve, one level detector, one spray system, characterized by a wash method comprising: checking the water level, volume determination sequence which comprises determining in which the at least one admission valve remains open; an agitation sequence; a dehydrating sequence; a rinsing sequence which comprises using a determined number of rinsing blocks according to the amount of objects to be washed, introducing a determined amount of water into the basket by means of a nozzle.

A washing machine includes a machine housing, a tub that is suspended on a plurality of support arms in the machine housing, and a washing drum that is rotatably mounted in the tub, at least one of the support arms being equipped with a force sensor, which generates a force measurement signal that is representative of the force acting upon the respective support arm. Moreover, the washing machine is equipped with a level sensor, which generates a level signal that is representative of the water level in the washing drum, and an electronic control unit that processes the force measurement signal and the level signal, and which is configured to control the sequence of a washing program of the washing machine in dependence on the force measurement signal and the level signal.

A water replenishment control method for a multi-drum washing machine. The washing machine comprises at least a first washing drum and a second washing drum. While the first washing drum is in a washing process, if the water level of washing water is lower than a set value, then a water replenishment process is executed, and before that, it is necessary to determine whether or not the second washing drum is executing a water replenishment process; if yes, the first washing drum pauses the water replenishment process, and the second washing drum executes precedence preferentially; if no, the first washing drum executes water replenishment process and terminates it when the water level of the washing water reaches a set water level.

In a control method of a washing machine, a washing operation is performed through a heating washing process for a first set time and is performed through a non-heating washing process for a residual time, and, if the heating washing process is started, the rotation of a driving motor is weakly controlled until a washing water temperature reaches a primary target temperature, and is strongly controlled until the washing water temperature reaches a secondary target temperature after the washing water temperature reaches the primary target temperature, so that the washing water temperature is relatively gradually increased.

A method for controlling a laundry treating apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a main-drum and an auxiliary-drum selectively mounted on or separated from the main-drum. The method may comprise: a main laundry quantity detection operation for detecting a laundry quantity in the main-drum via rotation of a pulsator disposed in the main-drum; and an auxiliary laundry quantity detection operation for detecting a laundry quantity in the auxiliary-drum by driving the main-drum, wherein the auxiliary laundry quantity detection operation is performed based on the main laundry quantity detected in the main laundry quantity detection operation.

The present disclosure relates to a clothes treating apparatus and a control method thereof, the clothes treating apparatus being an integrated washing machine in which a washer-dryer combo and a dryer are stacked, comprising: a circulation duct that circulates air inside the washing/drying machine or the dryer; and a filter unit that is provided in the circulation duct, wherein the filter unit may be cleaned using an external water supply source in addition to condensed water.

A method for managing the load of washing liquid in a laundry washing machine (100) is provided. The laundry washing machine has a washing tub (110), in which washing liquid may be loaded, and a rotatable drum (115), rotatably accommodated in the washing tub (110), for containing the laundry to be washed. The method includes performing a sequence of partial loads of washing liquid into the washing tub (110). Each partial load provides for loading a corresponding liquid amount in the washing tub (110). For at least one of the partial loads in the sequence, the method provides for loading into the washing tub (110) a predetermined amount of washing liquid which depends on at least one indicative parameter related to one or more of the previous partial loads in the sequence.

A double-drum washing machine has a first washing drum and a second washing drum. A control method comprises water intake and drainage control and high-power process control, wherein the water intake and drainage control comprises water intake control and water drainage control; the first washing drum judges whether to reuse drained water of the second washing drum before executing a water intake process and judges whether to enable the drained water to be drained into the second washing drum and reuse the water or not before executing a water drainage process; and the high-power process control is used for controlling any one of a heating process, a dewatering process and a drying process of the first washing drum and any one of a heating process, a dewatering process and a drying process of the second washing drum not to be executed at the same time.

Water leakage detection is provided. One or more water sensing devices are placed at different locations with respect to a laundry treatment appliance. A computing device is in communication with the one or more water sensing devices. The computing device is programmed to receive sensor data from the one or more water sensing devices. Responsive to the sensor data indicating a leak, the computing device performs one or more corrective actions to address the leak.

A method of laundering fabric including: (a) calculating a final amount of water to be added to a final wash bath; (b) calculating the amount of energy needed to heat this final amount of water to a desired final temperature; (c) contacting an amount of water that is less than the final amount water with fabric to form an intermediate wash bath, wherein a detergent composition is contacted to the fabric during the formation of the intermediate wash bath, or prior to the formation of the intermediate wash bath; (d) heating the water that contacts the fabric during (c) with the energy calculated in (b) such that the intermediate wash bath has a temperature above the desired final temperature; (e) washing the fabric in the intermediate wash bath for at least 3 minutes; (f) contacting the remaining amount of water to the intermediate wash bath to form the final wash bath having the desired final temperature; (g) washing the fabric in the final wash bath for at least 5 minutes; and (h) rinsing the fabric.
