The present invention relates to a method for controlling a laundry machine, comprising a cloth sensing step of sensing the cloth of laundry, wherein the cloth sensing step comprises: a weight sensing step of sensing the weight of the laundry; a photographing step of photographing the inside of a drum; a volume sensing step of sensing the volume of the laundry inside the drum by mean of the captured image; and a density calculation step of calculating the density of the laundry on the basis of the sensed volume and weight.

A fabric treatment appliance capable of indicating when a fabric load is sanitized, implementing a sanitizing by modifying a predetermined operation cycle, or implementing a sanitizing cycle after the completion of a predetermined operation cycle.

A control method of a laundry treating apparatus including a first treating unit, a second treating unit, and a display unit includes displaying selection information on the display unit and receiving selection of at least one of the first or second treating units, based on selection of at least one of the first or second treating units, displaying the operation command performable by the selected treating unit and receiving selection of the operation command, and based on the selected treating unit, performing the operation command and displaying a progressing state of the operation command.

A laundry machine includes a tub, a drum that is rotatably mounted in the tub, and an induction heater that is provided in the tub and configured to heat an outer circumferential surface of the drum. The laundry machine also includes a motor that is configured to rotate the drum, a user interface comprising a course selection unit that is configured to allow a user to select a course, and an option selection unit that is configured to allow the user to select option information that is related with the course selected. The laundry machine further includes a processor that is configured to control the drum rotation speed and the induction heater. The course selection unit comprises a wash-drying course that performs heat-spinning by default, the heat-spinning being configured to heat the drum by driving the induction heater when the drum rotates.

A method to control operation of a laundry dryer. The method includes starting a drying cycle, and receiving a user input command through one of a first interface and a second interface. If the command is provided through the first interface, a first working routine is started. If the same command is provided through the second interface, a second working routine is started. The second routing is different in at least one operational parameter than the first working routine. A laundry dryer configured to perform the method is also provided.

A method of operating a washing machine appliance includes a manual mode of operation where a user interface device, such as a control panel or remote device, is used to input a subcycle combination comprising one or more subcycles, the one or more subcycles comprising at least one of a fill subcycle, a prewash subcycle, a soak subcycle, a wash subcycle, a drain subcycle, a rinse subcycle, or a spin subcycle. The method includes obtain subcycle parameters associated with each of the one or more subcycles in the subcycle combination and initiating an operating cycle of the washing machine appliance in accordance with the subcycle combination and the subcycle parameters upon receiving a start command.

A method of controlling a washing machine includes: sensing a laundry amount accommodated in a drum; performing water supply into the drum according to the sensed laundry amount; rotating a pump motor at a certain initial rotation speed and transferring washing water discharged from the drum to at least one nozzle for spraying water into the drum; sensing a water level in the drum; performing a re-supply of water at least once until the sensed water level reaches a set water level; and increasing the rotation speed of the pump motor whenever the re-supply of water is performed, so that as the rotation speed of the pump motor is increased, the reaching range of the water stream sprayed through the nozzle gradually expands from the lower side of the circumferential surface of the drum to the rear surface of the drum.

A laundry machine includes a tub, a drum that is rotatably mounted in the tub, and an induction heater that is provided in the tub and configured to heat an outer circumferential surface of the drum. The laundry machine also includes a motor that is configured to rotate the drum, a user interface comprising a course selection unit that is configured to allow a user to select a course, and an option selection unit that is configured to allow the user to select option information that is related with the course selected. The laundry machine further includes a processor that is configured to control the drum rotation speed and the induction heater. The course selection unit comprises a wash-drying course that performs heat-spinning by default, the heat-spinning being configured to heat the drum by driving the induction heater when the drum rotates.

A laundry machine includes a tub; a drum that is rotatably mounted in the tub and holds laundry; an induction heater that is provided in the tub and configured to heat an outer circumferential surface of the drum located in opposite; a motor that is configured to drive so as to rotate the drum; a temperature sensor that is configured to sense the temperature inside the tub; and a processor that is implemented to control drum RPM in spinning based on a preset spinning target RPM and control heat-spinning based by controlling the drive of the induction heater, wherein the processor controls the drive of the induction heater by setting a heating target temperature that is raised by the drive of the induction heater to be higher as the preset spinning target RPM is set to be lower.
