Laundry treating apparatus
The present disclosure relates to a laundry processing apparatus and, particularly, to a laundry processing apparatus which improves the condensation performance by increasing a contact time and area of cooling water and humid air in a tub. An embodiment of the present disclosure can provide a laundry processing apparatus comprising: a tub in which wash water is stored; a nozzle installed on the upper side of a side part of the tub so as to allow moisture contained in the air staying in the tub to condense, and supplying cooling water; and a guide installed on a rear side surface of the tub to be disposed below the nozzle, and allowing the cooling water supplied from the nozzle to be dispersed in multiple directions and flow downward.
Washing machine having circulation nozzles
A washing machine includes a casing having an input port which is formed in a front surface thereof and to which laundry is inputted; a tub which is disposed in the casing to contain fluid, and has an opening communicating with the input port; a drum which is rotatably disposed in the tub, and contains the laundry; a pump which pumps water discharged from the tub; a circulation conduit which guides the water pumped by the pump; an annular gasket which forms a channel connecting the input port and the opening of the tub, and has a plurality of nozzles for spraying water into the drum on an inner circumferential surface defining the channel; and a nozzle water supply conduit which is fixed to the gasket, and supplies the water pumped by the pump to the plurality of nozzles.
LAUNDRY WASHING MACHINE WITH ADJUSTABLE WASH CAPACITY
A wash drum apparatus and method of adjusting the wash capacity for a laundry washing machine. The wash drum may include one or more rear cover inserts that may adjust the wash capacity of the wash drum. The rear cover insert may include one or more impellers. The wash drum may include a rear cover.
REINFORCING CAP FOR A TUB REAR WALL OF AN APPLIANCE
A laundry appliance includes a tub having a rear wall that includes a plurality of structural ribs. A drive hub has a bearing housing insert injection molded into the rear wall. A stator is attached to the drive hub at stator fastening portions exposed through the rear wall of the tub. A reinforcing cap is fixed to the structural ribs of the rear wall of the tub. The bearing housing of the drive hub extends rearwards through a portion of the reinforcing cap. The stator fastening portions are exposed through the reinforcing cap.
Laundry treating appliance having a user interface and methods of operating same
A laundry treating appliance includes a treating chamber provided for receiving laundry for treatment, a controller having a memory in which is stored a set of executable instructions including a set of cycles of operations. The laundry treating appliance also includes a user interface operably coupled with the controller and having a touchscreen configured to provide an input and output function for the controller.
Extended tub for a laundry treating appliance
A laundry treating appliance having a rotatable basket that defines a treating chamber, a tub for mounting the rotatable basket, a drive assembly mounted to the tub for rotating the basket and a drive motor mounted to the tub for driving the drive assembly. The tub has a lower region comprising a central cavity and a second cavity. The drive assembly is nested in the central cavity and the drive motor is nested in the second cavity for reducing the vertical stack of tub and the motor.

Storage container and clothes treating machine including the same
A storage container and a clothes treating machine having the same are described. A discharge inclined portion is formed on a lower side of a storage container. The discharge inclined portion is inclined from one side to another side in a lengthwise direction. Therefore, a clothes treatment agent accommodated in the storage container can flow from the one side to the another side along the discharge inclined portion. Also, a check valve is partially accommodated in a space partially surrounded by the second bottom surface, so as to allow the clothes treatment agent collected in the space to be discharged. Accordingly, an amount of clothes treatment agents remaining inside the storage container can be minimized.

Suspensionless laundry apparatuses and methods of balancing a laundry apparatus
A laundry apparatus includes an exterior housing, a tub, one or more tub mounts rigidly mounting the tub to the exterior housing, a drum positioned within the tub and rotatable relative to the tub, a control unit, a motor, one or more load imbalance sensors, and a dynamic balancing assembly. The motor is communicatively coupled to the control unit and operatively coupled to the drum. The one or more load imbalance sensors are communicatively coupled to the control unit and configured to output a load imbalance signal to the control unit, the load imbalance signal being indicative of a load imbalance within the drum. The dynamic balancing assembly is includes one or more counterweight devices configured to be orbited about the primary rotation axis to counteract a detected load imbalance in the drum. The tub is unsupported by any displaceable suspension members extending between the tub and the exterior housing.
