Disclosed are a fragrance supply apparatus and a washing/drying machine having the same, wherein the washing/drying machine comprises a fragrance supply apparatus installed in a washing/drying machine body for collecting clothes to be treated such that a fragrance solution contained therein is uniformly effused by a pressure difference to be supplied into the clothes within the washing/drying machine body, whereby the fragrance solution can be supplied at a desired time so as to prevent an unnecessary consumption thereof, and also prevent an occurrence of a deviation of an effused amount due to an amount of the fragrance solution contained in the fragrance supply apparatus.

Odor supply apparatus and washing/drying machine having the same

Disclosed is the washing/drying machine including a fragrance supplying means for supplying fragrance, and a heat supplying means for supplying heat to promote evaporation of a fragrance source stored in the fragrance supplying means. The washing/drying machine uses heat supplied by the heat supplying means so as to promote evaporation of a fragrance source in the fragrance supplying means, thereby increasing efficiency in fragrance supply.

Washing/drying machine

A method for removing odor of laundry in a washing machine comprises inputting laundry into an inner tub, supplying steam to the laundry, and rotating the inner tub. Odor of the laundry is rapidly and easily removed without performing a cleaning process using water, and the fabrication cost is reduced.

Method for removing odor of laundry in washing machine

A washing machine with an odor removal function includes a cabinet, a tub received in the cabinet and including an intake port and an exhaust port so as to receive and discharge air, and a washing tub rotatably provided in the tub. Here, ambient air flows into the tub through the intake port by a suction force generated when the washing tub rotates and air inside the washing tub flows to the outside, such that odor of laundry is removed. Therefore, a washing machine with an odor removal function capable of easily and quickly removing laundry odor is provided.

Washing machine with odor removal function

Disclosed are a washing method of a washing machine capable of preventing a phenomenon that remaining detergent is collected into a space where a heater is positioned or a specific space during a washing operation of laundry, capable of minimizing a generation of washing water unnecessarily supplied to the washing machine, and capable of fast heating corresponding laundry before a washing operation for an efficient washing operation, and an apparatus thereof. To this end, the method comprises the steps of: generating steam by heating washing water supplied into a washing machine; injecting the generated steam into laundry inside of a drum of the washing machine; and rotating the drum after injecting the steam into the laundry and thereby washing the laundry.

Washing method of washing machine and apparatus thereof

A deodorization apparatus and a washing machine having the same are provided. The washing machine having the deodorization apparatus includes a tub including a ventilator, and a deodorization apparatus disposed outside the tub, having one side that communicates with the tub, and removing an laundry odor by injecting air into the tub. Therefore, the laundry odor can be quickly removed, and water and power consumption and damage to the laundry, which are caused by a washing operation using the water for deodorization of the laundry, can be prevented.

Deodorization apparatus and washing machine having the same

Disclosed is a method of washing laundry in a drum washing machine by which the amount of wash water used and the amount of power use can be decreased when doing washing in the drum washing machine. The method comprises supplying wash water to a tub up to a first preset water level; and washing laundry in a drum by rotating the drum of the drum washing machine forward and backward simultaneously while drawing the wash water and supplying the drawn wash water to the drum.

Method of washing laundry in drum washing machine

Disclosed are a drum type washing machine and a vapor generator thereof. The vapor generator of the drum type washing machine comprises: a case provided with a space portion for storing water therein, a water supplying portion for supplying water at one side thereof, and a vapor exhaustion portion for exhausting vapor at another side thereof; a water level detecting means installed at the case for detecting a level of water stored in the case; and a heater installed in the case for heating water stored in the case.

Drum type washing machine and vapor generator thereof

A steam generation apparatus for a washing machine includes: a case having an accommodating space for storing water; a heater disposed inside the case to heat the water stored in the case; and a heater overheating prevention unit for cutting off power of the heater when the heater is overheated above the set temperature, so that a fire and deflection of a case can be prevented by preventing overheating of the heater by cutting off power being supplied to the heater when the heater is overheated due to malfunctions of a water level sensor or a clogged spray nozzle or a clogged flow passage.

Steam generation apparatus for washing machine

A dehydration control method of a drum washing machine includes accelerating a drum to a first rotational speed when a uniforming process is finished, measuring first eccentricity when the rotational speed of the drum reaches the first rotational speed, comparing the measured first eccentricity with a preset first reference eccentricity, storing the measured first eccentricity when the measured first eccentricity is less than the preset first reference eccentricity, accelerating the rotational speed of the drum to a second rotational speed and measuring a second eccentricity when the rotational speed reaches the second rotational speed, comparing the measured second eccentricity with the stored first measured eccentricity, and performing a dehydrating process when the measured second eccentricity is less than the stored first measured eccentricity.

Dehydration control method of drum washing machine

A water level measuring apparatus for a washing machine which is capable of sensing the water level depending on a level of a sound made by a falling water when water is supplied, includes a microphone disposed at an interval from a water supply inlet to sense the sound of the falling water, a microphone amplifier for amplifying the sound sensed through the microphone, and a microcomputer for determining a water level by using an output signal from the microphone amplifier.
