The present disclosure relates to a method for washing laundry of a laundry load, in particular in a washing drum (B2), carried out by at least one device (100, 200). In one example, the method includes generating steam and applying the steam to the laundry of the laundry load; producing a microemulsion by employing a detergent composition; and washing the laundry of the laundry load using a first wash liquor based on the microemulsion.

A drum washing machine, and a control method and a control apparatus for same are provided. The control method for the drum washing machine comprises the following steps: acquiring an average starting power of a drum in a starting process of the drum; acquiring a load range to which a current load of the drum belongs according to the average starting power; and setting a weighing protection velocity fluctuation threshold according to the load range to which the current load of the drum belongs. A value of the current load is obtained by using a correspondence between load with different weights and average starting powers. A weighing protection velocity fluctuation threshold is set according to the value of the current load to avoid the collision with the drum and non-dehydration in case of only one piece of clothing.

A disclosed dryer includes a receptacle configured to contain material to be dried, an air duct configured to route recirculating air and/or fresh air to the receptacle, a heating device configured to heat the recirculating air, and at least one sensor. The sensor is configured to determine a relative humidity and/or temperature, and the air duct includes at least one adjusting element configured to modify a portion of recirculating air routed to the receptacle. The dryer further includes a control or regulating device configured to control or regulate the portion of recirculating air routed to the receptacle and/or a heating capacity of the heating device during a drying process. A disclosed method includes controlling a portion of recirculating air routed to the receptacle and/or a heating capacity of the heating device. Further, a mixture of recirculating air and fresh air are varied during heat-up, drying, and cool-down phases.

A washing machine appliance may include a cabinet, a tub, a wash basket, and a controller. The tub may be positioned within the cabinet. The tub may define a tub outlet and a tub inlet. The wash basket may be rotatably mounted within the tub. The wash basket may define a chamber for receipt of articles for washing. The controller may be mounted to the cabinet and configured to initiate a washing operation. The washing operation may include flowing a volume of liquid to the tub, initiating a spin phase requiring rotation of the wash basket following flowing the volume of liquid to the tub, determining an out-of-balance (OOB) state within the wash basket, determining a user OOB preference following determining the OOB state, and adjusting the spin phase according to the determined user OOB preference.

A control method includes performing a first drum operation of supplying water by a first set amount together with a detergent into the tub and rotating the drum at a first drum rotation speed while water is supplied, operating the pump at a first pump rotation speed during the first drum operation, operating a heater to heat water in the tub, performing a second drum operation of rotating the drum at the first drum rotation speed during the operation of the heater, and operating the pump at a second pump rotation speed at least once during the second drum operation, stopping the operation of the heater, performing a third drum operation of rotating the drum at the first drum rotation speed, and operating the pump at the first pump rotation speed during the third drum operation.

Disclosed is a laundry treating apparatus including a cabinet, a drum, a fluid circulator, an air circulator including a humidity sensor, a driver, and a controller, wherein a drying operation includes an efficiency increasing process for increasing drying efficiency inside the drum, an efficiency maintaining process for maintaining the drying efficiency, and an efficiency decreasing process for reducing the drying efficiency, wherein the controller performs the drying operation while distinguishing the efficiency increasing process, the efficiency maintaining process, and the efficiency decreasing process from each other using a measured value of the humidity sensor.

The present invention relates to a dryer control method comprising: an air supply step for supplying air to a drum via an air supply unit; a first agitation step for controlling a drive unit so that the drum carries out a second motion and a third motion from when the air supply step begins until a preset reference time is reached; and a second agitation step for controlling the drive unit so that the drum carries out a first motion, the second motion and the third motion from when the reference time is reached until the completion of the air supply step.

Disclosed is a laundry treating apparatus including a cabinet, a drum, a fluid circulator including a compressor sensor, an air circulator including a fan, a driver including a first driver and a second driver, and a controller, wherein a drying operation includes an efficiency increasing process for increasing drying efficiency inside the drum, an efficiency maintaining process for maintaining the drying efficiency, and an efficiency decreasing process for reducing the drying efficiency, wherein the controller performs the drying operation while distinguishing the efficiency increasing process, the efficiency maintaining process, and the efficiency decreasing process from each other through a measured value of the compressor sensor.

The present invention relates to a clothing processing device which, when using artificial intelligence or an algorithm provided by artificial intelligence, can cause a user to visually recognize same, and an online system comprising same.

An electronic starting switch assembly and control methods for a dryer having a split-phase induction motor. The assembly comprises a microcontroller unit (MCU) configured to execute a control method that dynamically manages the motor's operation by monitoring the forward magnitude current. The MCU determines a stabilized startup forward magnitude current and calculates a crossover condition, allowing for precise control of the motor's transition to single-phase operation by disconnecting the auxiliary winding and connecting the heater element based on real-time forward magnitude current analysis and processing. The system can also monitor for overload conditions indicative of rotor speed drops and can re-engage the auxiliary winding to maintain motor performance. The assembly includes a housing with a heat-sink for efficient thermal management and environmental protection of electronic components. The disclosed method provides a robust solution for efficient dryer operation by ensuring accurate control of motor start-up, running conditions, and overload protection.
