A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet for forming an appearance of the laundry treating apparatus, wherein the cabinet has a laundry inlet defined therein, a drum disposed inside the cabinet, wherein a drum opening in communication with the laundry inlet is defined in the drum, wherein the drum accommodates laundry therein, and a control unit disposed in the cabinet to receive a control signal. The control unit includes a touch portion for forming an exposed surface outwardly of the cabinet, a circuit board spaced apart from the touch portion and positioned inside the cabinet, and a spring unit having a portion on one side in contact with the touch portion and a portion on an opposite side coupled to the circuit to connect the touch portion and the circuit to each other. The spring unit transmits an electrical signal input through the touch portion to the circuit board.

Laundry treating apparatus

A laundry treating apparatus includes first and second treating apparatuses; a first display on which a control command that may be input to the first treating apparatus; a first apparatus input unit for inputting the control command to the first treating apparatus; a first display controller controlling the first display and the first apparatus input unit; a first apparatus first power circuit connecting the first display controller and the first apparatus input unit to a power source; a first apparatus second power circuit connecting the power source with the first load controller, switched by a first controller switch; and a first apparatus third power circuit connecting the power source with the first driving unit, switched by a first load portion switch. When the control command is input through the first apparatus input unit, the first display controller controls the first controller switch to close the first apparatus second power circuit.

Laundry treating apparatus and control method for the same

A rotary switch having a fixing body, a rotating body disposed in the fixing body, a cover coupled to an upper portion of the fixing body, and a first elastic body positioned under the cover to contact a plurality of protrusions formed on the rotating body is provided. The protrusions of the rotating body protrude in a side direction and radial direction of the rotating body to improve a rotational operation feeling and the quality of a rotational sound.

Rotary switch

Disclosed is a method of controlling laundry treating apparatus including supplying power to a driving unit configured to rotate a drum, an input unit configured to input a control command and a communication unit configured to receive a remote control command transmitted from a remote control device, setting a remote control mode so as to operate the driving unit if the communication unit receives the remote control command, and executing a standby operation so as to cut off power supply to the driving unit and to maintain power supplied to the communication unit, when the remote control mode is set.
