A lifter for a laundry treating apparatus includes a first member mounted at an inner side of a drum; and a second member mounted on the first member and protruded toward an inside of the drum, wherein the first member includes a hook protruded and formed along a circumference of the first member, at least part of which is disposed to cover an inner circumferential surface of the drum when inserted into a fastening hole of the drum and then slid in one direction; and a shield protruded and formed at an inner side of the first member and configured to completely cover the fastening hole when the hook is inserted into the fastening hole and then slid in one direction.

Lifter for laundry treating apparatus

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a tub, a drum having a drum opening in communication with a tub opening, a gasket for connecting a laundry inlet of the cabinet and the tub opening to each other, a pump for pumping water discharged from the tub to the tub, and a circulation portion that supplies water pumped by the pump into the tub and includes a circulation flow path portion for guiding water pumped by the pump to the gasket and a nozzle portion connected to the circulation flow path portion to spray water into the tub. The nozzle portion includes a nozzle spray portion coupled to the gasket to pass therethrough to spray water into the tub, and a nozzle coupling portion extending from the nozzle spray portion to be coupled to the tub. The nozzle coupling portion supports the nozzle spray portion.

Laundry treating apparatus

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a tub, a drum rotatably disposed inside the tub, an elastic member to connect, to the cabinet, a portion of the tub body above a horizontal line passing through a rotation center of the drum; first and second dampers to connect, to the cabinet, a portion of the tub body located below the horizontal line; and a third damper to connect, to the cabinet, a portion of the tub body located below the horizontal line. A first location is defined as one of left and right portions in the tub body relative to a vertical line passing through the rotation center of the drum, while a second location is defined as the other portion. The first damper and second damper are disposed at the first location. The third damper is disposed at the second location.

Laundry treating apparatus and method for controlling the same

A present disclosure provides a washing machine including first and second nozzles which are provided on an inner peripheral surface of a gasket, first and second balancers disposed on the front surface of the tub and outside the gasket, and a circulating water supply pipe which guides the water pumped by a pump to the first and second nozzles. The circulating water supply pipe includes first and second discharge ports protruding toward the gasket and respectively inserted into a first connector and a second connector. The first and second balancers are disposed to be spaced by a distance shorter than lengths of the first and second discharge ports from outer surfaces of the first and second discharge portions facing the first and second balancers. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the circulating water supply pipe from being removed.

Washing machine

A laundry treating apparatus includes: a cabinet; a tub provided inside the cabinet; a drum provided inside the tub; an electric heater coupled to a bottom portion of the tub to heat wash water inside the tub; and a bracket provided at the tub to support the electric heater to be spaced apart from the bottom. The bracket includes an electric heater receiving portion in which the electric heater is received therein, and a sensing portion protruding upward at an upper one side of the electric heater receiving portion to sense the mis-assembly of the electric heater. As a result, the mis-assembly of the electric heater may be quickly recognized.

In a laundry treating apparatus, flat surfaces are installed at both sides of a tub for storing water therein, so that a spacing between each of the both sides of the tub and each side of a cabinet is smaller than a spacing between a lower surface of the tub and a bottom of the cabinet. Further, a control panel is disposed between the lower surface of the tub and the bottom of the cabinet.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for treating laundry, including a cabinet having an entrance for inserting laundry and a door opening and closing the entrance, a tub positioned in the cabinet and having an opening for allowing the laundry to pass through, a drum rotatably positioned in the tub to receive the laundry, a vibration insulating part maintaining a watertight seal by connecting the entrance and the opening, a balance weight positioned in a front side of the tub to increase a weight of the tub, and an annular passage part extending between the vibration insulating part and the balance weight, the annular passage part fixedly supported by the balance weight, the annular passage part having a plurality of nozzles spraying wash water into the drum through the vibration insulating part.

Apparatus for treating laundry

The present disclosure relates to a sensor module and a laundry treating apparatus including the same. The laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet forming an outer shape of the apparatus, a tub disposed inside the cabinet in a vibrating manner, a drum rotatably disposed inside the tub, a motor disposed on the tub to rotate the drum, a water supplier for supplying washing water to the tub, a water discharger for discharging the washing water in the tub, a sensor module detecting a water level of the washing water stored in the tub, and at the same time, detecting a vibration of the tub, and a sensor module mount disposed on a rear portion of a top of the tub, wherein the sensor module is detachably installed into the sensor module mount.

Sensor module and laundry treating apparatus having the same

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet with an inlet; a tub configured to receive water, having a tub inlet facing the inlet; a drum rotatably disposed inside the tub, configured to receive laundry, and having a drum inlet facing the inlet; a storage provided inside the cabinet and configured to store detergent; a discharge pipe configured to discharge the detergent to an outside of the storage, made of an elastic body; an insulating body connecting the inlet with the tub inlet; an inlet pipe made of an elastic body, passing through a circumferential surface of the insulating body; and a connector having one end inserted into the discharge pipe and the other end inserted into the inlet pipe to connect the discharge pipe with the inlet pipe, made of a material different from that of each of the discharge pipe and the inlet pipe.

A laundry treating apparatus include a first fixed body disposed along an circumferential surface of a tub laundry inlet; a second fixed body disposed along a circumferential surface of a cabinet laundry inlet; a first extending body extending from the first fixed body toward the second fixed body; a second extending body extending from the second fixed body toward the first fixed body. A free end of the second extending body is inserted into the first extending body. A connecting body is provided including a first connecting portion extending from the first extending body toward the second extending body; a second connecting portion extending from the second extending body toward the first extending body; and a third connecting portion connecting the first connecting portion with the second connecting portion. A spacer is provided to maintain a spacing between the connecting body and the second extending body.
