ADDITIVE DISPENSING SYSTEM FOR A WASHING MACHINE APPLIANCE

A washing machine appliance defines a mutually perpendicular vertical direction, lateral direction, and transverse direction. The washing machine appliance includes a cabinet having an opening defined in and through a top cover thereof. A wash tub is mounted within the cabinet and a wash basket is mounted rotatably within the wash tub. The wash basket is accessible through the opening in the top cover. A dispensing assembly includes a dispenser box mounted above the wash tub, a shower plate positioned within the dispenser box and defining a plurality of water supply apertures, lateral suspension arms that extend downward from the shower plate along a vertical direction, and a detergent drawer defining one or more detergent reservoirs, the detergent drawer being directly supported by the lateral suspension arms.

Washing machine, and method for controlling the same

A method of controlling a washing machine that includes a drum rotatably provided in a tub that receives water, at least one nozzle spraying water into the drum, a washing motor rotating the drum, and a circulation pump circulating water within the washing machine, the method including: controlling a rotation of the drum by operating the washing motor to rotate the drum at a first rotation speed in a first rotation direction, and to maintain a rotation of the drum at the first rotation speed in the first rotation direction so that laundry in the drum maintains contact with an inner circumferential surface of the drum; and controlling a pump speed of the circulation pump by operating a circulation pump motor in the circulation pump to accelerate and decelerate at least once while the washing motor rotates the drum at the first rotation speed in the first rotation direction.

Fault detection for a water level detection system of a washing machine appliance

A washing machine appliance includes a sump for collecting wash fluid, a water supply valve for supplying the wash fluid during a fill cycle, and a water level detection system including a pressure sensor for measuring sump pressures/fill levels. A controller is configured for operating the supply valve to fill the sump until a target volume is reached and obtaining a fill volume using the water level detection system. The controller determines that a fault condition exists based on a difference between the target volume and the fill volume, e.g., such as when the difference exceeds a predetermined fault threshold, and initiates a fault abatement process in response to determining that the fault condition exists.

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.

Laundry treating appliance detergent dispenser

A clothes washing machine includes a cabinet defining an interior and having a top wall with a dispenser opening, and a water inlet box located within the interior and having a storage cartridge chamber accessible through the dispenser opening. The storage cartridge can be removably mountable within the storage cartridge chamber through the dispenser opening.

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.

20230002952 · 2023-01-05 ·

The present disclosure relates to a laundry treating apparatus, including a tub provided inside a main body and a drum rotatably provided inside the tub; and a detergent supply apparatus provided to be inserted into or withdrawn from a front surface of the main body, and configured to supply laundry detergent to the tub, wherein the detergent supply apparatus includes a laundry detergent input pipe that allows laundry detergent being moved by the laundry detergent pump to pass through an upper portion of the wash water dispenser so as to flow into the housing through the wash water dispenser.

Washing machine

A washing machine comprises a first housing having a first laundry loading port, a first tub disposed in the first housing, a second housing having a second laundry loading port formed at a top portion and disposed on the first housing, a second tub disposed in the second housing, a water supply device connected to an external water source to supply wash water to the first tub and the second tub and installed at the second housing. The water supply device comprises a water supply connector having a plurality of chambers, a first water supply hose connecting the water supply connector with the first tub, a second water supply hose connecting the water supply connector with the second tub, and a backflow prevention structure formed in one of the plurality of the chambers to operate by a pressure of wash water supplied to the plurality of chambers.

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.

Method of determining volume of water to add to first and second washing compartments of a washing machine as a function of determined moment of inertia

A washing machine includes a first washing compartment to hold a first set of articles to be washed and a second washing compartment to holds a second set of articles to be washed, the second washing compartment having an inserted position and a removed position. A liquid flow valve is configured to connect to an external liquid source to selectively control flow of liquid from the external liquid source and into one or more of the first washing compartment and the second washing compartment. An electric motor is configured to rotate the first washing compartment, and the second washing compartment, when the second washing compartment is in the inserted position. A controller, in communication with the electric motor, determines a mass of the second set of articles and then determines, as a function of the determined mass, a volume of water to be added to the second washing compartment.
