A fluid flow system for a laundry appliance includes a blower that delivers process air along an airflow path having a heat exchanger. A drain channel receives condensate from the heat exchanger and fluid spray from a spray nozzle for directing lint particles to the drain channel and on to a sump for collecting fluid, including the condensate. A pump seat and a fluid outlet are integrally formed in a sump cover. A pump directs the fluid from the sump to the fluid outlet. A fluid level sensor detects at least minimum and maximum capacities of the fluid in the sump. When the fluid is below the minimum capacity, the pump defines an idle state. When the fluid reaches the minimum capacity, the pump defines an active state. When the fluid exceeds the maximum capacity, the pump directs the fluid to the fluid outlet.

A clothing treatment apparatus is provided. The clothing treatment apparatus according to an embodiment includes a body including a storage chamber that stores clothing, a spray member configured to spray steam toward the clothing, a steam generator configured to supply steam to the spray member, a cabinet provided under the storage chamber, and a water supply container configured to store water inside, the water supply container being detachably combined with the cabinet, wherein the cabinet includes a cabinet plate formed with a supply hole that connects the water supply container to the steam generator and a discharge hole that drains residual water discharged when the water supply container is detached.

Provided is a clothes care apparatus capable of removing scale generated in a steam device. The clothes care apparatus includes a main body including a clothes care room and a steam generating device provided to supply steam into the clothes care room, wherein the steam generating device includes steam container, a wash liquid injecting part provided to inject a wash liquid for removing scale in the steam container, a heating part provided inside the steam container to heat the wash liquid, and a wash liquid discharging part provided to discharge the wash liquid having cleaned the scale using heat received from the heating part, wherein the wash liquid discharging part includes a second pump provided to discharge the wash liquid having cleaned the scale to an outside of the steam container.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a drum configured to accommodate laundry, a base that disposed below the drum and defines a space configured to guide air circulating to the drum or correct moisture in the air, a motor configured to rotate the drum, a heat exchange unit disposed at the base and configured to condense the moisture in the air and to heat the air, a steam generator configured to generate steam to be supplied to the drum. The motor is disposed behind the drum and spaced apart from the base, and the base includes a circulation flow path part configured to circulate the air to the drum, and a steam generator installation space that accommodates the steam generator therein.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a drum rotatably provided in the cabinet, a base disposed below the drum, a motor configured to provide power to rotate the drum, a heat exchange unit including a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, and a compressor, and a control box including a blower fan and a printed circuit board configured to control operation of the motor, the compressor or the blower fan and to supply power. The motor is disposed behind the drum so as to be separated from and spaced apart from the base, and the base includes a circulation flow path formed on one side of the base, and a control box installation space provided on a remaining side of the base in a lateral direction of a flow path and configured such that the control box is mounted in the control box installation space.

A dryer appliance and a method of operating the same are provided. In one aspect, the dryer appliance includes a drum rotatably mounted within a cabinet. The drum defines a chamber that is in fluid communication with a conditioning system of the dryer appliance that circulates heated air through the chamber. A controller is configured to receive a command to initiate an appliance travel cycle and implement a responsive action to prepare the dryer appliance for travel. The responsive action may be the automated adjustment of one or more operating parameters of the dryer appliance, such as performing a load sensing procedure, drying the chamber, closing the water supply valves, etc. In addition, the responsive action may include providing a user instruction to prepare the dryer appliance, e.g., by cleaning the lint filter, emptying the condensate collection tank, removing hoses and cables, addressing any error codes, etc.
