Provided is a clothes dryer including: a drum; an air circulation passage connected to the drum; a cooling device configured to cool and dehumidify air; a heating device configured to heat the air; an air blowing device configured to circulate air; a base plate configured to collect condensation water generated from the cooling device; a pump chamber accommodating a pump; a water circulation passage connecting the base plate to communicate with the pump chamber; a communication passage provided between the air circulation passage and the base plate and configured to guide the condensation water generated at the cooling device to the base plate; a first ventilation hole configured to provide a first air passage between the air circulation passage and the pump chamber; and a second ventilation hole configured to provide a second air passage between the air circulation passage and the base plate.

A method for collecting condensate inside an apparatus, including: providing a condensate collection system with bottom and top collection tanks; a condensate discharge pump to displace liquid from the bottom collection tank to the top collection tank; and an overflow system which displaces the liquid contained in the top collection tank that exceeds an overflow level into the bottom collection tank; collecting a condensed liquid in the bottom collection tank; actuating the condensate discharge pump to displace the condensed liquid from the bottom collection tank into the top collection tank; detecting a low load condition of the condensate discharge pump, actuation of the condensate discharge pump being interrupted upon detection of the low load condition; the actuating time (T.sub.2) of the condensate discharge pump, with signalling of a full condition of the condensate collection system when this actuating time (T.sub.2) is equal or larger than a maximum time (T.sub.2lim).

A method of operating a laundry appliance includes rotating a laundry basket at a tumble speed during a drying cycle of a laundry appliance and energizing a conditioning system for process air. A fan is operated at a first speed to recirculate a flow of process air for a portion of a drying cycle. The conditioning system is deenergized and the fan is operated at a second speed during a second portion of the drying cycle where the second speed less than the first speed.

A dryer appliance, a controller, and a method for operation are provided. The controller is configured to execute steps of a method including receiving an input indicative of a drying cycle end time; determining a moisture extraction rate based at least in part on the received input indicative of drying cycle end time, the moisture extraction rate indicative of a rate at which moisture is removed from articles within a chamber of the dryer appliance; determining a rate of change of moisture extraction rate corresponding to the drying cycle end time; and adjusting a condensation rate based at least on the rate of change of moisture extraction rate and the received input indicative of the drying cycle end time.

A laundry treatment apparatus includes a cabinet, a condensed water collector that is disposed in the cabinet and defines a collection space configured to receive condensed water therein, a discharge pump assembly disposed at the condensed water collector and configured to pump the condensed water from the condensed water collector, a water discharge container configured to receive the condensed water collector pumped from the condensed water collector, and a sterilization module configured to sterilize the condensed water in the condensed water collector.

According to an embodiment, a clothes care apparatus includes a tub; a water level sensor configured to detect a water level in the tub; a heat exchanger disposed above the tub; a nozzle configured to spray water to the heat exchanger; a water supply valve configured to open or close a water supply flow path for supplying water to the nozzle; a drain line configured to guide condensate water generated by the heat exchanger or the water sprayed by the nozzle to the tub; and a controller.

The disclosure of a clothing dryer may comprise: a first water container in which condensate generated as a drying cycle is performed is stored, a drain pump driven by a brushless direct current motor, and a controller configured to: alternately drive the drain pump at a first rotational speed and stop the drain pump a predetermined number of times in response to a start of a bubble removal cycle to remove bubbles from the condensate stored in the first water container, and start a drainage cycle in which the drain pump is operated at a second rotational speed which is greater than the first rotational speed for a predetermined driving period in response to termination of the bubble removal cycle.

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 method for controlling a laundry management apparatus comprising a washing unit and a drying unit that are operated by a single operation unit and remotely controlled to manage hygiene of the drying unit, is provided.

A method and device of controlling a moving hanger based on a movement of clothing are disclosed. A method of controlling a clothing styler includes determining a second moving pattern based on a dust amount in a processing chamber and movement information of clothes collected while a moving hanger operates in a first moving pattern, and controlling the moving hanger based on the determined second moving pattern. The controlling method can be associated with an artificial intelligence module, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a robot, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, devices related to 5G services, and the like.
