A laundry treating apparatus includes a main body, a washing tub, and a suspension assembly. The suspension assembly includes a support rod, an elastic member, and a damper. The damper includes a cap, a housing, and a friction member. The friction member is disposed in both the cap and the housing, and is configured to press the support rod through the coupling of the female coupling portion and the male coupling portion.

The washing machine includes an outer tub, an inner tub rotatably provided in the outer tub, a pulsator rotatably provided in the inner tub, a power transmission shaft rotating the pulsator, a buoyancy clutch that moves up and down by buoyancy created by wash water and transfers, when the buoyancy clutch is in a lower position, rotational force from the power transmission shaft to the inner tub to allow the pulsator and the inner tub to rotate integrally with each other, a circulation passage that is provided on an outer portion of the outer tub to allow the wash water drained out of the outer tub to be returned into the outer tub, a pump provided on the circulation passage and a drain guide unit that directs the wash water under the buoyancy clutch to a drain hole of the outer tub so that the buoyancy clutch moves downward.

Disclosed is a laundry treating apparatus. The laundry treating apparatus includes: a housing; a tub disposed inside the housing and having an extended cylindrical shape; a drum rotatably disposed on the tub; a driving part disposed below the tub and connected to the drum; a first bracket extending from the housing toward the tub, having a first through hole opened up and down, and having a cutout connected to the first through hole in an outer circumferential wall; a second bracket extending from the tub toward the housing, spaced apart from a lower side of the first bracket, and having a second through-hole opened up and down; and a suspension extending between the first bracket and the second bracket and connected to the first bracket and the second bracket. The suspension includes: an upper block disposed in an upper portion of the first bracket; a lower block disposed below the second bracket; a connecting bar passing through the upper block and the lower block, extending in a longitudinal direction of the tub, and having a diameter smaller than a width of the cutout; a spring extending along an up-down direction, disposed below the upper block, and surrounding the connecting bar; and a middle block disposed between the upper block and the spring to be movable downward with respect to the upper block, and having the connecting passing therethrough.

A laundry treating appliance having a cabinet, a static wash tub fixed in position relative to the cabinet, a wash basket mounted within the wash tub for rotation about a vertical axis and having at least one drain hole, a drive motor within the cabinet for rotating the wash basket, a catch basin fixed to the wash tub and spaced from the drive motor, a recirculation pump, and a closure between the drive motor and the catch basin.

The present disclosure provides a washing machine capable of sprinkling water on washings contained in a washing tank without dead angle. The washing machine includes an outer tank capable of storing water, a cylindrical washing tank contained in the outer tank, used for containing the washings and capable of rotating, and a water path for absorbing water stored in the outer tank and discharging the water into the washing tank from an upper side. The washing tank is provided with through holes for allowing water to flow between the washing tank and the outer tank. Discharging ports for discharging water into the washing tank from the upper side through the water path are arranged around whole area of the circumferential direction S of the washing tank.

Disclosed is a clothing treatment apparatus including: a cabinet; a tub disposed inside the cabinet and providing a space in which water is stored; a drum rotatably provided inside the tub; and a pump having a supply port connected to the tub, and a discharge port connected to an outside of the cabinet. The pump includes: a housing; a first chamber disposed inside the housing and communicating with the supply port; a second chamber disposed inside the housing and communicating with the discharge port; a first partition for separating the first chamber and the second chamber; a chamber communicating hole formed in the first partition and communicating the first chamber and the second chamber; an impeller rotatably provided in the second chamber; and a second partition located in the first chamber and extending downward from a first surface of the housing, which provides an upper boundary of the first chamber.

Disclosed herein are a washing machine and a method of controlling the same. The washing machine includes a motor configured to generate a rotational force, an inverter module with a plurality of switching circuits installed therein and configured to adjust a driving current supplied to the motor, and a controller configured to detect whether a fault signal is generated by an overcurrent in the inverter module and to control opening and closing of at least one of the plurality of switching circuits based on a detection result of the occurrence of fault signal when controlling the driving of the motor.
