The present application relates to washing machine assembly. The described washing machine assembly comprises a body, an outer drum, an inner drum, a door assembly and an ultrasound apparatus; the outer drum is connected to the body, and an accommodating container and an open groove that communicate with each other are formed inside of the outer drum; the inner drum is located inside of the accommodating container and a washing tank is formed in the inner drum; the door assembly is rotatingly connected on the outer drum, the door assembly covers the outer drum so as to block the open groove, and an mounting hole is formed inside of the door assembly; the ultrasound apparatus is located inside of the mounting hole and is connected to the door assembly, and the ultrasound apparatus is at least partially located inside of the washing tank.

A method for detecting entrapment of an article between a laundry machine door and bellows, comprising: identifying a maximum startup motor torque value of the drum motor while accelerating the drum from a stop to a target rotation speed; identifying a maximum operating motor torque value while rotating the drum at the target rotation speed; comparing a difference between the maximum startup motor torque value and the maximum operating motor torque value to a predetermined torque difference value; and terminating operation if the difference exceeds the predetermined torque difference value. A laundry washing machine configured to perform the method is also provided.

A drawer-style laundry treating appliance includes a cabinet defining an interior and having an open face. A drawer body is slidably received within the cabinet for movement through the open face between a closed position wherein the drawer body is received within the interior and an opened position wherein the drawer body is at least partially withdrawn from the interior. A tub is located within the interior, carried by the drawer body, and has a tub opening accessible when the drawer body is in the opened position, the tub further at least partially defining a treating chamber accessible through the tub opening. A tub cover selectively closes the tub opening.

A lid lock assembly for a washing machine appliance is provided. The lid lock assembly includes a lid lock mechanism configured to engage a striker on a lid of the washing machine appliance to lock the lid in the closed position. The lid lock mechanism is actuated using a hydraulic actuation assembly including a water supply conduit and a hydraulic plunger, the hydraulic plunger being configured to actuate the lid lock mechanism when the water supply conduit is momentarily pressurized. Each time the lid lock mechanism is actuated, the lid lock mechanism alternates between a locked state and an unlocked state, thereby allowing the lid lock assembly to lock the lid in the closed position without any electrical harnesses and without requiring that the water supply conduit remain pressurized.

A washing machine appliance including a cabinet, a tub positioned within the cabinet, and a basket rotatably mounted within the tub is provided. The cabinet defines an opening at a top end to allow a user to access the basket. A lid assembly is positioned over the opening of the cabinet and includes a perimeter frame, a pair of hinge brackets positioned at least partially in the perimeter frame, and a transparent panel attached directly to the hinge brackets.
