A method of operating a laundry treatment appliance includes performing a selected laundry treatment operation on a laundry load in accordance with an original set of operating parameters, obtaining a feedback input from a user regarding a dryness level of the laundry load, adjusting at least one operating parameter of the original set of operating parameters, and generating a new set of operating parameters including the at least one adjusted operating parameter.

An apparatus and method of operating a laundry treating appliance can include a first basket defining a first treating chamber and a second basket defining a second treating chamber. A liquid supply system can selectively supply water to the first basket, second basket, or both of the first and second baskets. A user interface can be configured to receive input from a user. A controller can operably couple with the liquid supply system and the user interface. The controller can receive an input at the user interface to a configuration type for the laundry treating appliance and can indicate treatment variable available to the user reflective of the configuration type.

A washing machine and a method of controlling the washing machine are provided. The washing machine includes a display configured to display a washing course and a first washing option set corresponding to the washing course, an inputter configured to receive a user's option change command for changing at least one washing option among a plurality of washing options included in the first washing option set from a user, a storage configured to store a washing option set including the changed at least one washing option, and at least one processor configured, based on the storage of the washing option set being more than a predetermined number of times, to control the first washing option set to be changed to a second washing option set based on the changed at least one washing option.

A deflector assembly for an appliance includes a deflector having a rim forming a geometric shape and configured to engage a panel and a chute extending from a portion of the rim. The chute includes an upper surface that extends at an oblique angle from the rim. A lighting unit has a light source. The light source is disposed proximate to a junction between the rim and the chute.
