An apparatus and method of operating a laundry treating appliance can include a first basket defining a first treating chamber and a second basket defining a second treating chamber. A liquid supply system can selectively supply water to the first basket, second basket, or both of the first and second baskets. A user interface can be configured to receive input from a user. A controller can operably couple with the liquid supply system and the user interface. The controller can receive an input at the user interface to a configuration type for the laundry treating appliance and can indicate treatment variable available to the user reflective of the configuration type.

Selectable method of control for double basket laundry treating appliance

The present invention relates to a washing machine having at least one washing basket defining a first treating chamber and at least one removable washing basket that is selectively receivable within the first treating chamber as well as at least one sensor and at least one component able to cause excitation in the sensor.

Detection system of washing machines removable basket and method for detection of washing machines removable basket

The present invention relates to a system for detecting washing machines removable basket, which comprises at least one washing basket () attached to the washing machine, at least one washing basket () removable from the washing machine and at least one structural component () attached to the washing machine. The system itself consists of at least one sensor () and at least one component () able to cause excitation in the sensor (), wherein the sensor () can be physically associated to the structural component () attached to the washing machine and the component () can be physically associated with the washing basket () removable from the washing machine. Alternatively, the sensor () can be physically associated to the washing basket () removable from the washing machine and the component () may be physically associated to the structural component () attached to the washing machine. The subject method provides for at least one driving step of the motive source () and at least one checking step of the output signal of the sensor (), the detection of the removable washing basket () being performed by checking the change of the output signal of the sensor ().
