Method of controlling laundry treating apparatus

Disclosed herein is a method of controlling a laundry treating apparatus, if a user selects a uniform course, including performing a preheating operation of a heater to generate steam, performing a first cooling operation to operate a blower unit and a moving hanger after the preheating operation has been terminated, performing a steam operation to operate the blower unit and a steam unit and to circulate steam to a treating chamber after the first cooling operation has been terminated, performing a standby operation to operate the blower unit after the steam operation has been terminated, performing a second cooling operation to operate the blower unit after the standby operation has been terminated, and performing a drying operation to operate the blower unit and a heat pump unit and to provide heat to the treating chamber to dry the treating chamber after the second cooling operation has been terminated.

CLOTHES TREATMENT APPARATUS

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.

FLUID DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR A DRYER APPLIANCE

A dryer appliance includes a distribution system for directing treatment fluids into a dryer chamber. The treatment fluids are transported from a reservoir and directed onto a heating surface above a heating element, where the treatment fluids are evaporated. A negative pressure is generated by a blower that draws ambient air through a heater housing around the heating element and heating surface, thus mixing the ambient air with the evaporated treatment fluids. This mixture is then directed into the drying chamber, where the articles to be treated are present.

FLUID INFUSING SYSTEM DRIVEN BY DRYER DRUM

A dryer appliance includes an impeller assembly for drawing a fluid from a reservoir assembly and directing the fluid into a drying chamber to treat articles for drying. The impeller assembly includes a spindle that drives the impeller. The spindle is rotated by a roller which itself is rotated through contact with the dryer appliance's rotating drum. The reservoir assembly is filled with a clothing treatment liquid. Negative pressure generated by operation of the impeller assembly draws fluid from the reservoir through a siphon and the fluid is delivered to a fluid distribution element directed into the drying chamber.

Clothes treatment apparatus and control method thereof

A clothes treatment apparatus includes a cabinet; an inner door disposed to be rotatable in a front surface of the cabinet and provided with an opening; an outer door disposed to form a space in which clothes are mounted between a front surface of the inner door and the outer door, the outer door disposed to rotate with respect to the cabinet together with the inner door or with respect to the inner door separately from the inner door; a heating plate disposed on a rear surface of the outer door; a holding device disposed in an upper portion of the space between the inner door and the outer door and formed to hold one end of the clothes; and a pair of clips disposed under the holding device in the space between the inner door and the outer door and formed to hold both sides of the clothes.

System and method for controlling static electricity within a dryer appliance

A dryer appliance including a drum defining a chamber for receiving clothes, a moisture sensor for detecting a remaining moisture content within the clothes, and a water supply in fluid communication with the chamber is provided. A controller determines that the remaining moisture content has dropped below a predetermined moisture content and calculates a remaining cycle time based at least in part on a selected dryness level. The controller further determines a spray schedule based on at least one of a load size, a flow restriction, or a selected heat level, and provides a spray of water into the chamber according to the spray schedule until the remaining cycle time has lapsed.
