The present specification relates to a clothes treatment apparatus and a control method therefor, the apparatus comprising, in order to improve an air flow mechanism for circulating air to a drum, the drum for accommodating objects to be treated, an air circulation path connected to the drum, a circulation fan, which is provided on the downstream side of a heat exchanger inside the air circulation path and generates suction force so as to suction the air of the air circulation path and supply same to the drum, a water collection part formed at the lower side of the drum so as to collect condensate water, and a trap having a bottom surface that is lower than a peripheral area in the water collection part so as to allow the condensate water to gather therein.

Clothes treatment apparatus and control method therefor

A clothes processing apparatus includes a drum, a circulation flow path for circulating air from a frontal-side opening of the drum to a rear-side opening of the drum, and a base cabinet in a lower portion of the drum to provide a space for components. The base cabinet includes a base flow path part of the circulation flow path in which an evaporator, a condenser, and a circulation fan are disposed sequentially towards a rear of the base flow path part, a drum motor mounting part which is disposed at one side in front of the base flow path part, and in which a drum motor for generating a driving force for rotating the drum is mounted, and a compressor mounting part which is disposed at one side behind the base flow path part, and in which a compressor for generating compressed air for heat exchange is mounted.

Clothes processing apparatus

A dryer includes a heat pump system provided as a heat source for heating air supplied to a drum. The dryer includes a controller configured to perform operations that include selecting one of a plurality of operation modes in which initial driving frequencies are different from one another and inputting a drying start command to the dryer by a user, checking an outer temperature and comparing the outer temperature with a preset reference temperature T, performing the operation mode selected by the user, in a case where the outer temperature is equal to or more than the reference temperature T, performing an operation mode in which the initial driving frequency of the compressor is the highest of the plurality of operation modes, in a case where the outer temperature is less than the reference temperature T.

Control method of clothes dryer

A control method of a dryer according to an embodiment of the present invention in which a heat pump system is provided as a heat source for heating air supplied to a drum includes selecting one of a plurality of operation modes in which initial driving frequencies are different from one another and inputting a drying start command to the dryer by a user; checking an outer temperature and comparing the outer temperature with a preset reference temperature T by a control unit; performing the operation mode selected by the user by the control unit, in a case where the outer temperature is equal to or more than the reference temperature T; performing an operation mode in which the initial driving frequency of the compressor is the highest of the plurality of operation modes, in a case where the outer temperature is less than the reference temperature T.

A laundry treating apparatus comprises a drum receiving clothes; a fan supplying air to the drum; a heater heating the air supplied to the drum; and a dry level sensing unit determining a dry level of the clothes. A control method comprises setting a dry time; supplying air to the clothes by operating the fan or operating the fan and the heater, and controlled to be performed for the dry time; and resetting the dry time, when the dry level measured by the dry level sensing unit at a time past a preset reference time period from the start of the air supply step is less than a preset reference dry level, wherein resetting the dry time step adds more time to the reference time period.
