A washing machine appliance may include a tub, a basket, a valve, a spout, a dispenser, a motor, and a controller. The basket may be rotatably mounted and define a chamber for receipt of articles for washing. The valve may be disposed upstream from the tub. The spout may be directed at the tub downstream from the valve. The dispenser may be upstream from the tub for dispensing detergent into the tub. The motor may be in mechanical communication with the basket. The controller may be configured for controlling the washing machine appliance. The controller may be configured to initiate an oversuds-sensitive operation. The oversuds-sensitive operation may include detecting one or more resultant conditions from one or more previous wash cycles of the washing machine appliance, determining an adjusted operating parameter based on the detected resultant conditions, and directing detergent dispensing according to the adjusted operating parameter.

DRYING APPLIANCE HAVING AN ACCESSORY PORT FOR PROVIDING EXTERNAL AIRFLOW FOR POWERED ACCESSORIES

A laundry appliance includes a processing chamber positioned within a cabinet. A blower delivers process air through an airflow path and through the processing chamber. An accessory port is positioned on an exterior surface of the cabinet and coupled with the airflow path. The accessory port selectively redirects the process air through an accessory airflow path to define accessory process air. An accessory tool that selectively engages the accessory port to define the accessory airflow path.

A laundry treating appliance for treating laundry according to an automatic cycle of operation includes a cabinet defining a cabinet interior. A drum is rotatable within the cabinet interior, and at least partially defines a treating chamber. The treating chamber has a treating chamber air inlet and a treating chamber air outlet. A drying air circuit is fluidly coupled to the treating chamber air inlet and to the treating chamber air outlet. The laundry treating appliance can include first and second air temperature sensors, at least a first humidity sensor, and a controller operably coupled with the sensors.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL METHOD FOR CLOTHES DRYING TREATMENT DEVICE, AND CLOTHES DRYING TREATMENT DEVICE

A heating device of a clothes drying treatment device executes an on or off operation in a temperature interval. When the temperature in a drum reaches an upper limit value TDx of the temperature interval under an action of the heating device, the heating device is turned off and the heating device stops heating. The upper limit value TDx decreases as a number of off times x of the heating device increases. Accordingly, a higher initial off temperature is adopted for the heating device, the temperature in the drum rapidly increases to the drying temperature, a preheating time is shortened, and a certain coefficient is multiplied in following control parameters controlling on or off of the heating device. The coefficient is related to the number of on-off times, and the effect is achieved that the off temperature of the clothes dryer gradually decreases as the number of on-off times increases.
