Washing Machine Appliance with On Demand Fluid Additive
A washing machine appliance includes a reservoir and a dispensing assembly having a Venturi pump, a supply conduit and a water valve. The Venturi pump is coupled to the supply conduit such that the Venturi pump draws fluid additive from the reservoir when the water valve is open and water flows through the Venturi pump. A controller opens the water valve in response to actuation of a user input.
Laundry Additive Dispenser
A washing machine appliance having an improved additive dispenser is provided. The chamber geometry and water flow pattern of the additive dispenser provide complete delivery of wash liquid, even when using powdered detergent during low water volume dispense cycles. The water flows past the siphon inlet to clear the siphon path, dissolve and entrain wash additive, and clear the chamber floor upon delivery of the wash liquid.
Removable basket for laundry appliance
A laundry appliance including a cabinet that defines an opening to access an interior. A drum is positioned within the interior of the cabinet. A removable basket is selectively coupled to the drum and includes a first arcuate body that is coupled with a second arcuate body. The second arcuate body is rotatable between a nested position and an expanded position.

Agitation Element for a Washing Machine Appliance
An agitation element includes a base, a shaft extending from the base generally along a vertical direction, at least one fin, and a plurality of ribs. Each of the plurality of ribs extends from the base and radially outward from the shaft. Each of the plurality of ribs includes a radially outward portion, the radially outward portion including two opposing entirely convex sidewalls and defining a maximum width and a maximum height, wherein a ratio of the maximum width to the maximum height is between 0.8 and 1.2. Each of the plurality of ribs further includes a radially inward portion, the radially inward portion including two opposing sidewalls.
Laundry treatment machine
A laundry treatment machine may include an outer tub having an opening at a top through which laundry is inserted. The outer tub may contain wash water for washing the laundry. An inner tub may be rotatably provided inside the outer tub. A pulsator may be rotatably provided at a bottom of the inner tub to generate a current or flow of water flowing at a lower part of the inner tub. A water current generating protrusion that protrudes inward from a peripheral surface of the inner tub and extends upward from a bottom end of the inner tub may generate a current or flow of water flowing along an upper part of the inner tub.

Laundry treatment apparatus
The present application relates to a laundry treatment apparatus. The laundry treatment apparatus includes: a cabinet having a front panel and an opening provided by penetrating through the front panel; a drawer body configured to be ejected from the cabinet through the opening of the cabinet; a tub provided in the drawer body and defining a space configured to receive water; a drum rotatably provided in the tub and configured to receive laundry; a drawer panel fixed to the drawer body and configured to open the opening of the cabinet when the drawer body is ejected from the cabinet and to close the opening of the cabinet when the drawer body is retracted into the cabinet; and a drawer holder configured to fasten the drawer panel to the cabinet when the drawer panel closes the opening of the cabinet.

MACHINE APPLIANCE AND A METHOD FOR PREVENTING AN OVERSUDS CONDITION
A method for preventing an oversuds condition in a washing machine appliance includes a tub and a basket rotatably mounted within the tub. The basket defines a chamber for receipt of articles for washing. The method includes obtaining, via a controller, one or more detergent parameters from one or more previous wash cycles of the washing machine appliance. Further, the method includes analyzing, via the controller, the one or more detergent parameters to predict an amount of suds that will be generated in a future wash cycle of the washing machine appliance. Moreover, the method includes automatically adjusting, via the controller, at least one operating parameter for the future wash cycle based on the predicted amount of suds to prevent the amount of suds from exceeding a suds threshold.
