Disclosed are an object treating apparatus, and more particularly, an object treating apparatus for heating a drum using an induction heater and a control method thereof. The object treating apparatus includes a tub; a drum rotatably disposed within the tub and accommodating an object therein; an induction heater disposed on the tub and configured to heat an outer circumferential face of the drum contacting the heater; a motor to rotate the drum; and a processor configured to control an operation of the induction heater to dry the object, wherein the processor is configured to: control revolution per minute (RPM) of the drum to perform at least two drum motions having at least two different target RPMs respectively when drying the object.

A laundry treating apparatus may include a drum in which laundry is stored, an air flow passage through which air is circulated, and a heating duct configured to supply hot air to the drum. The air flow passage and heating duct may be configured to prevent or reduce or cooling or condensing of moisture in the circulated air. A steam compressor may be provided to compress some of the air flowing through the air flow passage.

A clothes treatment apparatus includes: a cabinet forming a treatment space for storing clothes; a filter module having a filter portion for filtering out dust from air passing therethrough; an air flow path having a plurality of preset flow paths for directing air to be discharged into the treatment space; a fan for moving the air in the air flow path; at least one valve disposed on the air flow path; a valve actuating module for actuating the valve; and a control part for controlling the valve actuating module so as to select one of the plurality of flow paths. The plurality of flow paths include: at least one bypass flow path for directing the air to bypass the filter portion; and at least one filtering flow path for directing the air to pass through the filter portion.

A laundry treating appliance for treating laundry according to an automatic cycle of operation includes a cabinet defining a cabinet interior. A drum is rotatable within the cabinet interior, and at least partially defines a treating chamber. The treating chamber has a treating chamber air inlet and a treating chamber air outlet. A drying air circuit is fluidly coupled to the treating chamber air inlet and to the treating chamber air outlet. The laundry treating appliance can include first and second air temperature sensors, at least a first humidity sensor, and a controller operably coupled with the sensors.

A method of operating a laundry treating appliance with a treating chamber for treating a load of laundry the method comprising supplying a rinse to the treating chamber during a rinse cycle, rotating the treating chamber at a tumbling speed, spinning the treating chamber in an extraction cycle to remove excess moisture from the load of laundry, sensing a parameter indicative of a remaining moisture content value in the load of laundry, comparing the remaining moisture content value to a pre-determined remaining moisture content value.

Disclosed are an object treating apparatus, and more particularly, an object treating apparatus for heating a drum using an induction heater and a control method thereof. The object treating apparatus includes a tub; a drum rotatably disposed within the tub and accommodating an object therein; an induction heater disposed on the tub and configured to heat an outer circumferential face of the drum contacting the heater; a motor to rotate the drum; and a processor configured to control an operation of the induction heater to dry the object, wherein the processor is configured to control revolution per minute (RPM) of the drum to perform, during drying: a conductive accelerating motion having a target RPM in which the object rotates integrally with the drum while the object is in close contact with an inner circumferential face of the drum; and a rearrangement motion having a target RPM lower than the target RPM of the conductive accelerating motion.

Disclosed are an object treating apparatus, and more particularly, an object treating apparatus for heating a drum using an induction heater and a control method thereof. The object treating apparatus includes a tub; a drum rotatably disposed within the tub and accommodating an object therein; an induction heater disposed on the tub and configured to heat an outer circumferential face of the drum contacting the heater; a motor to rotate the drum; and a processor configured to control an operation of the induction heater to dry the object, wherein the processor is configured to control revolution per minute (RPM) of the drum to perform at least three drum motions having at least three different target RPMs respectively when drying the object.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet with an insertion opening defined in a front face, a laundry receiving space in the cabinet, a support assembly in the laundry receiving space for supporting laundry, and a first chamber including an air supply part for supplying dehumidified and heated air into the laundry receiving space. A communication opening in the front face of the cabinet opens to the first chamber. A chamber door is configured to open and close the communication opening. A water discharge tank is detachably connected to the chamber door and stores condensate water discharged from the air supply part. A chamber door conveying part reciprocates the chamber door, and moves the support assembly toward the insertion opening when the door opens the insertion opening.

A dryer appliance includes a drum rotatably mounted within a cabinet for receiving a load of clothes during a drying cycle. A temperature sensor measures a temperature of air circulated through the drum and a controller obtains a remaining moisture content of the load of clothes from a washing machine appliance, obtains a measured air temperature using the temperature sensor, determines a restriction level of a vent based at least in part on the measured air temperature, and adjusts at least one operating parameter of the dryer appliance based at least in part on the remaining moisture content and the restriction level.

The present disclosure relates to an integrated laundry treatment apparatus, in which a washing machine module and a drying machine module are integrally installed in a common cabinet, and a single drying module is provided to produce dry hot air, such that a size of a product may be reduced, a dried state of laundry being dried in a washing drum and a drying drum is detected in real time while drying processes are simultaneously performed in the washing drum and the drying drum by the common drying module, and the amount of supplied dry hot air and the amount of recovered dry hot air are differently controlled, such that an overall drying process time may be reduced and electric power consumption may be minimized, and the drying processes performed in the drying process and the drying machine of the washing machine are simultaneously completed, such that convenience for a user may be improved, and a method of controlling the same.
