A laundry appliance includes a cabinet. A drum disposed within the cabinet and has an inner circumferential wall. At least one lifter is operably coupled to the inner circumferential wall of the drum. A motor is operably coupled to the drum and is disposed within the cabinet. A controller is disposed within the cabinet and is communicatively coupled to the motor. A negatively-charged member selectively disposed within the drum. A negative charge is configured to attract oppositely-charged foreign substrates to the negatively-charged member. The negatively-charged member is selectively coupled to the at least one lifter.

A washing machine has a rotatable drum that is positioned within a tub. The drum has a drum base at one end of the drum. The drum base includes at least one slot to enable the passage of water into the drum. The tub has a tub base at one end of the tub. The tub base includes a water inlet that is arranged in line with the at least one slot in the drum base so that water is sprayed into the drum when the at least one slot rotates into alignment with the water inlet on the tub base and so that the spray of water into the drum is interrupted when the at least one slot rotates out of alignment with the water inlet on the tub base.

A washing machine includes an auxiliary washing unit. When an inner tank is rotated during a washing cycle or a rinsing cycle, washing water passing through the auxiliary washing unit impacts the laundry, which lies by trapping on a projection member, thereby improving washing performance.

An inner drum comprises lifting ribs extending along a generatrix of the inner drum, each being hollow inside, a water-splashing surface of each of the lifting ribs has permeable holes to allow a hollow part of each of the lifting ribs to communicate with an inside of the inner drum, and a rear end of each is arranged close to an inner drum bottom, and provided with a water outlet structure. A no-clean washing machine is installed with the inner drum, the inner drum is a closed container with an opening closed by a door. When the inner drum rotates at a high speed, the washing water is guided towards the inner drum bottom and flows to a center of the bottom along a water guide flow channel on the bottom, and is discharged out of the inner drum through a water outlet connector of a central joint.

A laundry treating apparatus includes: a drum and a lifter that is disposed at an inner circumferential surface of the drum, that revolves, that includes a frame cover and a lifter frame including (i) a frame base coupled to the inner circumferential surface and including a seating groove provided along a circumference of the frame base, (ii) a frame upper plate spaced apart from the frame base in a direction toward a center of the drum, and (iii) a frame sidewall connecting the frame upper plate to the frame base. The frame cover includes a cover upper plate and a cover sidewall having (i) a lower end mounted on the seating groove to couple to the frame base and (ii) an upper end connected to the cover upper plate. A spacing rib providing a space between the cover sidewall and the frame sidewall protrudes from the seating groove.

A clothes treating apparatus including a cabinet having a laundry inlet; a door configured to open and close the laundry inlet; a drum inside the cabinet to accommodate clothes received in the drum through the laundry inlet while the laundry inlet is opened by the door; a sensing device including a sensor to measure a temperature or a humidity in the drum; and a holder on the door or the drum. The sensing device is separably mountable to the holder so that, when the sensing device is mounted to the holder, the sensing device is held by the holder and, when the sensing device is separated from the holder, the sensing device is allowed to move with respect to the drum, within the drum, so as to measure the temperature or the humidity in the drum while clothes accommodated in the drum are being treated.
