The laundry treatment apparatus further includes a plurality of connectors that are each configured to connect a first support member and a second support member.

A recirculating fluid flow system for an appliance includes a fluid pump that delivers process fluid through a fluid path. A tub is disposed within a cabinet and defines a processing space. The fluid path includes at least a portion of the processing space. The tub has an outlet that directs the process fluid toward the fluid pump. A sprayer assembly is coupled with the tub for directing the process fluid into the processing space. The sprayer assembly includes a spray head having a plurality of spray nozzles and an operable seam that extends through each spray nozzle of the plurality of spray nozzles. The operable seam is selectively separable to define a release opening that includes at least two spray nozzles of the plurality of spray nozzles.

A laundry washing machine comprising: a cabinet; a tub inside the cabinet and comprising a first and second shells fixed together and defining a sump at a bottom region of the tub; a rotatable drum in the tub; a draining circuit fluidly connected to the sump for draining liquid from the bottom of the latter; a level detection device configured for detecting the level of liquid within the tub and comprising an air chamber having a liquid inlet provided at the sump and in fluid communication with the internal of the latter; and a recirculation circuit configured for withdrawing liquid from the tub and to re-admit such a liquid into the tub through an outlet opening positioned in the sump. The outlet opening of the recirculation circuit and the liquid inlet of the level detection device are located one on the first shell and the other on second shell.

A laundry treating appliance is disclosed. The laundry treating appliance includes a tub having a tub side wall and a tub end wall defining a liquid chamber with a tub end opening. A tub manifold portion is positioned at the tub end wall. A rotatable drum is located within the liquid chamber, rotatable about a rotational axis, and has a drum side wall and a drum end wall at least partially defining a treating chamber with a drum end opening. A drum manifold portion is positioned at the drum end wall and confronts the tub manifold portion. At least one lifter is secured to the drum, and a liquid conduit fluidly couples the drum manifold portion to the at least one lifter.

A laundry appliance includes a cabinet with a front panel defining a front opening. A tub is disposed within the cabinet and has an access opening. The access opening is aligned with the front opening. A deflector has a rim and a chute. The rim is coupled to the front panel and extends along the front opening. The chute extends from the rim and toward the tub. A bellows is coupled to the deflector and the tub. The bellows extends along an inner edge of the rim and an interior edge of the chute and along the access opening of the tub. The deflector is disposed between the bellows and the front panel.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a drum provided inside the cabinet and formed of a metal material, and an induction module configured to heat the drum, The induction module includes a base housing for accommodating a coil, and a cover housing forming a moving space of heat generated from the coil, jointed to an upper portion of the base housing, the cover housing includes a through portion for discharging the heat by passing through the cover housing up and down, and the cover housing forms a section upwardly inclined toward the through portion to move the heat generated from the coil along the inclined section and discharge the heat to the through portion. It is possible to prevent a temperature of the coil from being excessively increased, and enhance durability and efficiency of the induction module by active discharge of heat generated from the coil.

An automatic laundry treating appliance having at least one sensor configured to detect the height of laundry in a treating chamber of the automatic laundry treating appliance is disclosed. Based upon the output of the sensors, a human-perceptible signal is generated to indicate whether the laundry load is below, within or above an optimal range for the laundry load. Further, the automatic laundry treating appliance may communicate to the user after completion of a drying function information related to whether the amount of laundry treated during the drying function exceeded an upper limit for an optimal amount of laundry based upon data acquired during the drying function.
