A laundry treating apparatus includes a main body having a laundry introduction opening, and a door capable of opening and closing the laundry introduction opening, wherein the door includes a door cover defining an appearance of the door, and provided with a transparent region and an opaque region surrounding the transparent region, a display module disposed on a rear surface of the door cover and capable of outputting visual information through the transparent region, and a touch sensor attached to a rear surface of the door cover to cover the transparent region and capable of sensing a touch input applied to the transparent region, wherein the touch sensor is provided with an align mark to allow the touch sensor to be attached to a correct position with respect to the transparent region.

The present application provides a door lock, comprising: a door lock, comprising: a latch head for locking a door of the top loading electrical appliance, the latch head being rotatable about an axis; and a limiting mechanism for limiting rotation of the latch head before the door of the top loading electrical appliance reaches a closed position. The latch head has a latch head unlock position and a latch head lock position, the latch head rotating between the latch head unlock position and the latch head lock position; and the limiting mechanism is arranged for limiting the latch head from rotating from the latch head unlock position to the latch lead lock position before the door of the top loading electrical appliance reaches a closed position. The door lock of the present application can lock the door of a washing machine safely and accurately.

A washing machine is provided, The washing machine includes a first housing; a second housing disposed on the first housing; a first tub covered by the first housing and having a first opening formed at a front surface; a second tub covered by the second housing and having a second opening formed at an upper surface; a drain path provided to drain wash water of the first tub and wash water of the second tub and having at least one portion located at a position higher than a maximum water storage height of the second tub; and a connector coupled to the first housing and disposed at one portion of the drain path where wash water of the first tub and wash water of the second tub are joined.

A washing machine includes a first housing, a second housing arranged above the first housing and having a laundry inlet arranged on the top, a first tub covered by the first housing and having a first opening on the front, a second tub covered by the second housing and having a second opening on the top, and a detergent container arranged in the second housing for storing a detergent to be supplied to the first tub.

A washing machine having separate washing arrangements, comprising a housing (1), and, arranged within said housing (1), a first automatic washing system (2) and a second automatic washing system (3). The housing (1) contains a first washing area (4) for accommodating the first automatic washing system (2) and a second washing area (5) for accommodating the second automatic washing system (3), said first washing area (4) and second washing area (5) being arranged one on the left and the other on the right. The axis of the first automatic washing system (2) and the axis of the second automatic washing system (3) are vertical. A user may choose according to need whether to operate one automatic washing system or both automatic washing systems at the same time; as the working principles and modes of installation of said two systems are different, during washing processes, the direction of sway and amplitude of sway of each accommodating drum accommodating wash water are different, hence the distance at which said two accommodating drums are arranged one away from the other is reduced. The direction and the location of the forces to which the housing (1) is subjected also are different, thus avoiding that vibration and forces occasioned by concurrent operation of the two washing systems directly combine; the forces received by the housing (1) being thus more dissipated, deformation of the housing (1) is avoided.

A washing machine, which can simply and reliably remove stains on an outer circumferential surface of a washing drum forming a dewatering drum and greatly increase the assembling efficiency and the space efficiency by reducing common used components The washing machine includes: a closed bottomed cylindrical first washing drum forming a housing of a washing machine body and having an upper opening; a closed bottomed cylindrical second washing drum disposed in a specified distance from an inner circumferential surface of the first washing drum and inside the first washing drum in a freely rotating manner and serving as a dewatering drum; a circular plate portion having stirring wings extending radially outwardly of the second washing drum and integrally formed with the second washing drum; and an electric motor driving the second washing drum and the circular plate portion to rotate together.

Disclosed is a control method of a laundry treatment apparatus including a cabinet defining an external appearance and having a front opening, a drawer provided to be discharged through the opening, a tub accommodated in the drawer to accommodate wash water therein, a drum rotatably provided inside the tub to accommodate laundry therein, a fastening unit configured to separably couple the drawer to the cabinet, and a sensing unit configured to sense whether the drawer is discharged from the cabinet, the method including receiving a control command to operate the laundry treatment apparatus, sensing whether insertion of the drawer into the cabinet is completed by controlling the sensing unit, locking the drawer to the cabinet by controlling the fastening unit, performing the control command, and releasing a locked state so as to separate the drawer from the cabinet by controlling the fastening unit when the control command is completely performed.

A lid for a laundry machine is configured to open to provide access to a laundry treating chamber and close to conceal the laundry treating chamber. The lid includes a frame and a panel. The frame has a front beam, opposing side beams extending from the front beam, and an open back end. The front beam and opposing side beams collectively define a channel. The panel is disposed within the channel. The panel spans the opposing side beams. The panel extends from the front beam to the open back end. The panel has a rear edge extending between the opposing side beams along the open back end.

A washing machine lid and a hinge for attaching the washing machine lid. The washing machine includes a cabinet and a rotatable lid. A hinge rotatably connects the lid to a top panel or front panel of the cabinet. The hinge includes a shaft, a housing defining a cavity for receiving an end of the shaft, and a connecting member extending from the housing such that the housing and the connecting member are rotatable around the shaft. The connecting member includes one or more tabs. The lid includes a pocket, the pocket receives the hinge, the pocket defines one or more sockets for receiving the one or more tabs, and the one or more tabs are biased into engagement with the one or more sockets.
