The base includes the supply duct in fluid communication with the drum, the heat exchange unit provided in the supply duct and including first and second heat exchangers, the duct cover coupled to an upper portion of the supply duct and covering the first and second heat exchangers, the duct sealing unit disposed between the supply duct and the duct cover and configured to block air in the supply duct from leaking, and the sealing mount part provided on a surface of the duct cover and configured to receive the duct sealing unit. The sealing mount part includes first and second sealing mount parts that are in fluid communication with each other and integrally provided as one body.

Disclosed is a laundry treating apparatus. The laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet having a rear plate at a rear surface thereof, a drum having a drum rear surface facing the rear plate, and a driving part positioned at the rear of the rear plate, the rear plate includes a driving part mounting portion to be coupled with the driving part, and an air flow portion surrounding the driving part mounting portion and providing air to the drum, the drum rear surface includes a rear surface central portion facing the driving part mounting portion, and an air passage surrounding the rear surface central portion and passing air provided from the air flow portion therethrough to be supplied into the drum, the air flow portion includes a flow space allowing air to flow therein and having an open front surface, and the air passage protrudes rearward from the drum rear surface and shields the open front surface of the air flow portion.

A laundry treatment apparatus includes: a cabinet, a drum rotatably disposed within the cabinet, a suction duct to which air discharged from the drum flows, a circulation flow path connected to the suction duct and configured to guide the air from the suction duct, an inflow duct connecting the circulation flow path to the drum such that the air received from the circulation flow path flows back to the drum through the inflow duct, a circulation fan configured guide the air between the suction duct and the inflow duct, a heat exchanger that is disposed at the circulation flow path and that is configured to perform heat exchange with the air, and an UV sterilizer disposed at a space that is defined in the circulation flow path at a position above a front surface of the heat exchanger, the sterilizer being configured to irradiate UV light to the heat exchanger.

Laundry treatment apparatus and control method thereof

A laundry dryer includes: a cabinet, a drum rotatably disposed inside the cabinet and configured to receive hot air and steam, a steam unit disposed inside the cabinet and configured to generate the steam, a storage tank configured to detachably couple to an inside of the cabinet and receive water to be supplied to the steam unit, a tank accommodating the storage tank, and a floater placed inside the storage tank and configured to move in a vertical direction according to a volume of water in the storage tank. The floater includes a body portion having a first outer surface and a second outer surface, a third outer surface and a fourth outer surface, and a fifth outer surface and a sixth outer surface, where the first outer surface defines an upper surface of the floater and the second outer surface defines a lower surface of the floater.

Laundry dryer

A laundry dryer performs a method for drying laundry with steam or hot air and notifying a user of water shortage. The laundry dryer includes a cabinet, a drum, a steam unit, a storage tank, a supply pump, and a steam controller. The steam controller operates the steam unit upon receiving a steam supply command to supply steam to the drum. When a water level of water stored in at least one of the steam unit or the storage tank is equal to or less than a predetermined water level, the steam controller provides a water shortage notification message for user recognition. The laundry dryer provides the water shortage notification message when a minimum amount of residual water is stored in the storage tank. The number of times to refill the storage tank can be minimized, resulting in an increase in user convenience.

Laundry dryer and method for controlling the same

A laundry dryer includes: a cabinet defining an outer body of the laundry dryer, a drum that is rotatably disposed inside the cabinet and that is configured to receive hot air and steam, a steam unit that is disposed inside the cabinet and that is configured to generate the steam, a storage tank that is configured to detachably couple to an inside of the cabinet and that defines a storage space for receiving water to be supplied to the steam unit, and a tank housing that is disposed inside the cabinet and that is configured to accommodate the storage tank. An intake hole is defined at a front upper surface of the storage tank and provides, based on the storage tank being accommodated in the tank housing, an air flow path between the storage space and an external space of the storage tank.
