A washing machine and an operating method of the washing machine are provided. In the operating method of the washing machine, it is determined whether a washing machine has a regular laundry load or a single laundry load based on the amount of laundry and the number of times of detection of the amount of laundry. Therefore, it is possible to precisely determine the laundry load of a washing machine, reduce the time taken to determine the laundry load of a washing machine, and prevent a washing machine from being damaged by a misreading of the laundry load of a washing machine.

Washing machine and operating method thereof

A laundry treatment apparatus is provided that includes a condensing pool disposed within a water supply port formed in a tub, a water supply passage formed between the condensing pool and the water supply port, and a cap that guides water to the condensing pool and stops steam flowing backward through the water supply passage so that the steam is introduced into the condensing pool. The steam flowing backward from an inside of the tub to the water supply port of the tub is brought into contact with the water contained in the condensing pool and is condensed, thereby preventing pollution of a detergent holder or peripheral portions thereof, which may occur when the steam flows backward into the detergent holder or peripheral portions thereof via the water supply port of the tub.

Laundry treatment apparatus and control method thereof

A washing machine having height adjustable legs is provided. The washing machine may include a base provided at a bottom of the washing machine, a plurality of legs coupled to the base, and an over-unscrewed prevention member provided with each leg. Each leg may include a bolt that is height-adjustably assembled at the base. The over-unscrewed prevention member may be provided at the bolt of each leg and caught by the base when the legs are unscrewed so as to set a maximum unscrew height of the legs.

Washing machine

A defrosting method of a drum-type washing machine is provided. The defrosting method includes performing a warm water supply operation upon receiving a defrost command; performing a water discharge operation; performing a heating operation if a water level has not yet decreased; and performing an additional water discharge operation.

Defrosting method of drum-type washing machine

An automatic level controlling apparatus () for supporting an appliance includes a hollow leg body (), a piston () inserted in the hollow leg body (), a spring () seated on an upper portion of the piston (), a cap () disposed on an upper portion of the piston () to support an upper portion of the spring (), a frictional member () disposed around the piston (), and a piston rod () coupled to the piston () and supported on a floor.

Automatic level controlling apparatus

A washing machine and a controlling method thereof are provided. The washing machine and controlling method use a sensor to sense a load of laundry at a predetermined point during a wash cycle, and controls the rotating speed of a drum based on whether the sensed load of laundry is a small load or a single article, in order to untangle laundry and implement a spin cycle.

An automatic height adjustment leg of a laundry handling apparatus according to the present invention comprises a cylinder mounted to a base of a laundry handling apparatus; a piston movably arranged inside the cylinder; a elastic member installed in the cylinder so as to elastically support the piston; and a leg penetrating the cylinder and fixed to the piston. There are provided advantages that the horizontality of the laundry handling apparatus may be automatically adjusted as the piston and leg move on and vibration may be absorbed and reduced by the elastic member.

A detergent box for a washing machine is provided. The detergent box is slidably coupled to a front portion of the washing machine, and has a structure that prevents release of the detergent box from the washing machine even if the washing machine is tilted or shaken, and that facilitates proper placement of the detergent box. The detergent box may include a stopper, and a rib having an elastic slot formed therein. The detergent box holds washing agents, and the dispenser is mounted in the washing machine so as to receive the detergent box therein. The dispenser has a recess for seating the stopper therein as the detergent box is placed in the dispenser. The rib may include an elastic slot to provide an elastic force to the stopper.

Detergent box, detergent box assembly, and washing machine with the same

A horizon control structure for a washing machine is provided. The structure includes: a stopper base having a base body having a predetermined diameter, a sleeve mount hollow depressed inside of the base body and having a predetermined diameter, at least one protrusion insertion through-hole being at a distance and provided inside of the base body, and a slip preventing part provided on a bottom surface of the base body; and a leg stopper layered on the stopper base, and having a stopper body having a predetermined diameter, an insertion sleeve extended from a rear surface of the stopper body and having a predetermined diameter and length, and an insertion protrusion protruded from a rear surface of the stopper body and having a predetermined length.
