Disclosed herein is a washing machine that includes a tub disposed in a main body of the washing machine to store water. A circulation apparatus includes a circulation pump operable to circulate the water in and out of the tub. A detergent supply apparatus is coupled to the circulation apparatus to discharge detergent to the circulation apparatus so that operation of the circulation pump causes the discharged detergent to be supplied to the tub.

A laundry treating appliance for treating laundry items according to an automatic cycle of operation includes a cabinet defining an interior. The cabinet has a front panel that at least partially defines an access opening to the interior. A treating chamber is located within the cabinet and accessible by the access opening. A closure is movably mounted to the cabinet to selectively open and close the access opening. The closure has a rear face confronting the treating chamber when the closure closes the access opening. The laundry treating appliance further includes a treating chemistry dispenser having first and second bulk treating chemistry reservoirs.

Dispensing systems for delivering a product from the inside of a container to a receptacle, cup, or container include valve systems and other dispensing configurations to reduce mess, parts, and costs associated with such dispensing systems.

A metering device for metering and supplying media via a fluid line to at least one target apparatus, in particular to an industrial textile washing machine, wherein the metering device is connected to at least one container which is filled with a medium. The metering device has a control unit which, in order to carry out a metering process with the aid of at least one pump, causes a specific volume of medium to be removed from the container and a conveyance of this volume towards the target apparatus. The fluid line has at least one heating element and at least one temperature sensor connected to a measuring device, wherein, by way of the measuring device, with the aid of a measurement value output by the temperature sensor, information about a performed conveyance of the medium through the fluid line can be determined and transmitted to the control unit.

A method of controlling a washing machine of the present invention includes the steps of: (a) supplying detergent contained in a dispenser together with water into an inner tub; (b) operating a pump to transfer the water supplied together with the detergent to a plurality of nozzles disposed above the inner tub; and (c) further supplying water into the inner tub, operating the pump while the water is being supplied, and rotating the inner tub so that laundry contained in the inner tub adheres to an inner surface of the inner tub by centrifugal force during the operation of the pump.

A retrofit auxiliary device for supporting washing operations in various makes and models of multiple household appliances is described wherein the retrofit auxiliary device can monitor appliance health, regulate appliance function, and send the user useful data. Each of the multiple household appliances has a water line and a power line operably coupled to an appliance controller with at least one pre-programmed cycle of operation.

A fabric treating appliance comprising a cabinet defining an interior and having a top wall defining an access opening. A cover movable relative to the cabinet between opened/closed positions to selectively close the access opening. A tub located within the interior and having an upper edge defining an open top, a rotatable basket located within the tub and having an upper edge defining a loading opening. A tank defining a bulk dispensing reservoir positioned in the cabinet, and a timer valve that is fluidly coupled to the bulk dispensing reservoir. A time selector is located on the tank and operably coupled to the timer valve. The time selector has non-time selection indicia such as load amount, liquid volume, or soil level. The timer valve is a mechanical timer valve.

According to the present disclosure, a washing machine includes: a cabinet; a tub disposed in the cabinet and configured to receive water; a drum rotatably disposed in the tub and configured to receive laundry; a drawer configured to be inserted into and withdrawn out of the cabinet, the drawer being configured to contain detergent; a first passage connecting the drawer and the tub; a detergent supply device disposed at the cabinet, the detergent supply device being configured to contain detergent; and a second passage disposed between the detergent supply device and the tub or between the detergent supply device and the drawer, the second passage being configured to guide the detergent contained in the detergent supply device to the tub or the drawer.

A washing feeding device includes a water box, and a feeding box installed in the water box; at least one feeding chamber is arranged in the feeding box. A baffle board is pivoted and installed in the feeding chamber for preventing water from flowing to a water outlet. A gap portion is formed on the baffle board, and an inlet water flow of the water box flows to the gap portion of the baffle board that is open when the baffle board is pivoted, and the inlet water flow washes a bottom wall of the feeding chamber below the baffle board after passing through the baffle board from the gap portion, and opening the baffle board. Via the above arrangement, residue of washing powder at the water outlet of the feeding chamber shielded by the baffle board is prevented.

A foreign particulate removal assembly for a laundry appliance includes a cabinet and a drum that is disposed within the cabinet. The drum includes a humidity sensor. The foreign particulate removal assembly further includes a fluid emitting feature that is operably coupled to a fluid housing proximate the drum. The fluid emitting feature is configured to selectively dispense fluid into the drum. A controller is communicatively coupled with the fluid emitting feature. The controller is configured to activate the fluid emitting feature when the humidity sensor detects a predetermined wetness of clothing items disposed within the drum.
