A laundry dryer includes: a cabinet defining an outer body of the laundry dryer, a drum that is rotatably disposed inside the cabinet and that is configured to receive hot air and steam, a steam unit that is disposed inside the cabinet and that is configured to generate the steam, a storage tank that is configured to detachably couple to an inside of the cabinet and that defines a storage space for receiving water to be supplied to the steam unit, and a tank housing that is disposed inside the cabinet and that is configured to accommodate the storage tank. An intake hole is defined at a front upper surface of the storage tank and provides, based on the storage tank being accommodated in the tank housing, an air flow path between the storage space and an external space of the storage tank.

A laundry dryer performs a method for drying laundry with steam or hot air and notifying a user of water shortage. The laundry dryer includes a cabinet, a drum, a steam unit, a storage tank, a supply pump, and a steam controller. The steam controller operates the steam unit upon receiving a steam supply command to supply steam to the drum. When a water level of water stored in at least one of the steam unit or the storage tank is equal to or less than a predetermined water level, the steam controller provides a water shortage notification message for user recognition. The laundry dryer provides the water shortage notification message when a minimum amount of residual water is stored in the storage tank. The number of times to refill the storage tank can be minimized, resulting in an increase in user convenience.

A clothes treatment apparatus includes a cabinet, a door, and a steam unit. The clothes treatment apparatus further includes a heat pump unit that is located in the cycle chamber and that is configured to circulate and condition air in the treatment chamber. The clothes treatment apparatus further includes a water supply tank that is installed in the tank installation space, that is connected to the steam unit, and that is configured to supply water to the steam unit. The clothes treatment apparatus further includes a drainage tank that is separably installed in the tank installation space, that is configured to store condensed water generated in at least one of the treatment chamber or the heat pump unit. The clothes treatment apparatus further includes a water supply level sensor. The clothes treatment apparatus further includes a drainage level sensor.

The disclosure relates to a clothes care apparatus and a method for controlling the same. The clothes care apparatus may obtain mode operation information of a previous steam mode stored in a memory, based on receiving a water level detection signal corresponding to a preset water level from a water level sensor at a start of a current steam mode, and control a water supply and a heater based on the obtained mode operation information of the previous steam mode.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a drum configured to accommodate laundry, a base that disposed below the drum and defines a space configured to guide air circulating to the drum or correct moisture in the air, a motor configured to rotate the drum, a heat exchange unit disposed at the base and configured to condense the moisture in the air and to heat the air, a steam generator configured to generate steam to be supplied to the drum. The motor is disposed behind the drum and spaced apart from the base, and the base includes a circulation flow path part configured to circulate the air to the drum, and a steam generator installation space that accommodates the steam generator therein.
