A clothing treatment includes: a cabinet; a door coupled to the cabinet; a tub; a drum provided inside the tub; a driving unit for rotating the drum; a gasket that connects an entrance of the cabinet to an opening of the tub; and a water supply unit for supplying water to the tub. The water supply unit is configured to supply water to the tub to a first water level higher than the lowest part of an inner side surface of the gasket. The driving unit is configured to rotate the drum at a first rotating speed at which a centrifugal force applied to laundry inside the drum is greater than the gravity applied to the laundry at the first water level.

Clothing treatment apparatus

A laundry treating apparatus includes a drum for receiving laundry; a motor for driving the drum; a drying unit for drying the laundry by heating the drum; and a memory for storing a control temperature table in which a control temperature according to the lapse of drying time of the laundry is recorded, wherein the drying unit operates on the basis of a control temperature table obtained by shifting the stored control temperature table at least one time.

Laundry treating apparatus

Provided are a washing drying machine having a heat pump, and a drying operation control method thereof. The washing drying machine having a heat pump includes a cabinet; a tub provided in the cabinet; a drum rotatably provided in the tub; a circulation passage configured to connect a first portion of the tub to a second portion of the tub; a circulation fan provided at the circulation passage and configured to circulate air through the circulation passage and the tub; the heat pump having a compressor that compresses a refrigerant and a heat exchanger that exchanges heat with the air of the circulation passage and the refrigerant; a heater configured to heat an inside of the tub; and a controller configured to control the heater to be supplied with power in order to heat the inside of the tub before the compressor is operated during a drying course.

Washing drying machine having heat pump and drying operation control method thereof

Disclosed is a control method for laundry treating apparatus configured to perform a dry cycle for clothes by operating a heat pump comprising: a measuring step for measuring a temperature of a refrigerant and a temperature of air which pass through an evaporator to exchange heat; a comparing step for comparing a difference between the measured temperatures of the refrigerant and air with a preset reference temperature; and an adjusting step for adjusting an opening degree of the expansion valve according to the result of the comparing step.

Control method for laundry treating apparatus

There are disclosed a laundry machine and a control method of a laundry machine including a heat pump module having an evaporator, a condenser and a compressor; and a blower for supplying the air heated by the heat pump module to a laundry accommodation unit, the control method including an initial operation step for operating the compressor at a first operation frequency; and a frequency decreasing step for decreasing the operation frequency of the compressor, when one or more of a compressed refrigerant temperature which is a temperature of refrigerant having passed the compressor and a condensed refrigerant temperature which is a temperature of a refrigerant having passed the condenser are a preset temperature of higher.

Laundry machine and control method thereof

Provided is a clothes treating apparatus which may include a cabinet defining an outer appearance of the apparatus and having an introduction opening, a clothes receiving device provided in the cabinet and receiving therein clothes through the introduction opening, a circulation passage through which internal air of the clothes receiving device circulates, a heat-exchanging passage connected to the circulation passage to guide external air outside the circulation passage into the circulation passage for heat exchange with the internal air of the circulation passage, and a fan provided at the heat-exchanging passage to generate airflow in the heat-exchanging passage.

Clothes treating apparatus and control method thereof

A laundry treatment apparatus may include a cabinet defining an external appearance of the apparatus, the cabinet having a laundry opening, a laundry accommodation module provided within the cabinet to receive laundry introduced through the laundry opening, a suction duct into which interior air from the laundry accommodation module may be introduced, a discharge duct from which the air is discharged into the laundry accommodation module, a connection duct connecting the suction duct and the discharge duct to each other, a heat exchanger provided in the connection duct, and a blower provided between the heat exchanger and the discharge duct to circulate the interior air of the laundry accommodation module.
