WASHING MACHINE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

A control method of a washing machine which includes a tub, a drum, a detergent supplier including a detergent storage space to store detergent and a softener storage space to store a softener, a water supplier to supply water to the tub, a turbidity sensor to detect turbidity of water in the tub, and a bubble circulator to perform a circulation operation of circulating water or a bubble supply operation of generating bubbles and supplying the generated bubbles to the tub, includes detecting, by the turbidity sensor, the turbidity of water in the tub, and in response to the detected turbidity of the water in the tub being lower than a first reference value, controlling the water supplier to supply water containing the softener to the tub and controlling the bubble circulator to perform a second rinsing cycle by alternately performing the circulation operation and the bubble supply operation.

CLOTHES CARE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME

A clothes care apparatus may include a tub; an upper detergent supply device disposed above the tub; a lower detergent supply device disposed below the tub; a heat exchanger disposed above the tub; a nozzle device configured to spray water to the heat exchanger; a first pipe configured to supply water to the upper detergent supply device; a second pipe configured to supply water to the nozzle device; a third pipe configured to supply water to the tub; a water supply device configured to be connected to the first pipe, the second pipe, and the third pipe; and a controller configured to control the water supply device to supply water to at least one of the upper detergent supply device, the nozzle device or the tub, so as to perform at least one of a washing process, a rinsing process, a spin-drying process or a drying process.

Washing and drying all-in-one machine and control method therefor

A washing and drying all-in-one machine and a control method therefor. The control method includes: when a washing and drying all-in-one machine enters a washing-drying linkage mode, measuring a remaining time of a washing program, and determining whether the remaining time is within a preset first time threshold value; and if so, a clothes dryer matching a drying program corresponding to the clothes and performing preheating, and after waiting for the washing program to end, the washed clothes being placed in the clothes dryer for drying. By the washing and drying all-in-one machine and the control method therefor, according to the remaining time of the washing program, the clothes dryer is started in advance to execute a drying program and is preheated, such that the entire washing-drying time consumption of the clothes is shortened, thereby improving the user experience, and meeting the increasing intelligent requirements of users.
