A controller is configured to control on-off states of the steam generating device and the first motor, configured to turn on the steam generating device in a first period for supplying the generated steam to the chamber, and configured to turn on the first motor in a second period for allowing the steam to be dispersed by air moving to the chamber.

Clothes care apparatus and control method thereof

A washing machine including a door provided to open and close an inlet, a tub having an opening corresponding to the inlet, a drum rotatably provided inside the tub and in which laundry is accommodatable, a door cleaning nozzle provided to spray washing water toward the door, a pump chamber provided at a lower portion of the tub to store the washing water discharged from the tub, a drain pump provided to pump the washing water stored in the pump chamber and discharge the washing water to the outside, and a controller provided to rotate the drum in order to tumble the laundry, spray washing water through the door cleaning nozzle, operate the drain pump to discharge the washing water stored in the pump chamber, and supply the washing water to a water supply pipe connected to a detergent supply device.

Washing machine and control method thereof

A clothes management apparatus includes a main body including a clothes management compartment, and an upper garment hanger disposed in the clothes management compartment to hang an upper garment. The upper garment hanger includes an inward discharge port to discharge air to the inside of the upper garment and the main body includes an outward discharge port to discharge air to the outside of the upper garment, so that the outside and inside of the upper garment may be managed simultaneously.

Clothes management apparatus

Provided is a washing machine capable of preventing laundry in a rotary tub from having pigment transfer or contamination due to wash water of an auxiliary washing tub. The washing machine includes a cabinet, a tub located in the cabinet and storing wash water therein, a main washing tub rotatably disposed in the tub and having a first washing space, and an auxiliary washing tub detachably mounted to the main washing tub and having a second washing space, wherein the auxiliary washing tub includes a drain path for guiding wash water of the second washing space to a space between the tub and the main washing tub.

Washing machine

A washing machine including an auxiliary washing tub in a washing tub, and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. The washing machine includes a main washing tub and an auxiliary washing tub through which different laundry can be classified according to the weight or category of laundry such that the classified laundry can be separately washed. As a result, user convenience increases, and the entire washing time and unnecessary energy consumption can be reduced. When the main washing tub and the auxiliary washing tub are simultaneously operated, when only the main washing tub is independently operated, or when only the auxiliary washing tub is independently operated, laundry can be effectively washed in different ways in the washing tub and the auxiliary washing tub according to an optimum washing algorithm achieved by a combination of washing-tub rotation and pulsator rotation, such that laundry can be less damaged and washing performance can be improved.

A washing machine includes a motor for generating power and a clutch assembly that receives the power from the motor and drives a drum and a pulsator. The clutch assembly includes a driving shaft that receives the power from the motor and rotates, a pulsator drive portion selectively receiving the power from the driving shaft to rotate the pulsator, and a drum driving portion selectively receiving the power from the driving shaft to rotate the drum, The clutch assembly is provided to selectively drive a driving portion of at least one of the drum driving portion and the pulsator drive portion. With this configuration, the washing machine capable of running various modes of a washing mode and dehydration mode is implemented.

Clutch assembly of washing machine

A washing machine including a door provided to open and close an inlet, a tub having an opening corresponding to the inlet, a drum rotatably provided inside the tub and in which laundry is accomodatable, a door cleaning nozzle provided to spray washing water toward the door, a pump chamber provided at a lower portion of the tub to store the washing water discharged from the tub, a drain pump provided to pump the washing water stored in the pump chamber and discharge the washing water to the outside, and a controller provided to rotate the drum in order to tumble the laundry, spray washing water through the door cleaning nozzle, operate the drain pump to discharge the washing water stored in the pump chamber, and supply the washing water to a water supply pipe connected to a detergent supply device.

A washing machine which comprises a fixing unit configured to fix an auxiliary laundry tub located in a rotary tub. The washing machine includes a cabinet, a tub disposed in the cabinet to store wash water, a rotary tub installed in the tub to be rotatable, a balancer coupled to an upper portion of the rotary tub to offset an unbalanced load of the rotary tub, an auxiliary laundry tub disposed in the rotary tub to be removably coupled to the balancer, and a fixing unit installed at the auxiliary laundry tub to be coupled to the balancer and to restrict up and down movement of the auxiliary laundry tub when the rotary tub is operated. Therefore, since the auxiliary laundry tub and the balancer may be stably coupled with each other, the auxiliary laundry tub is prevented from be separated during a washing process.

A pulsator device that generates a composite stream of water to improve performance of a washing machine. The pulsator device includes a first pulsator configured to be rotated about a rotary shaft, a shaft connected to the first pulsator such that the shaft is rotated with the first pulsator, the shaft being eccentric with respect to the rotary shaft, and a second pulsator rotatably coupled to the shaft.

Pulsator device usable with washing machine and washing machine having the same

A bubble generating device and a washing machine equipped with the bubble generating device. The washing machine includes a water tub into which water is introduced, a bubble generating device to generate bubbles and supply the bubbles into the water tub, a pump to suck water from the water tub and supply the water into the bubble generating device, and a connecting pipe having an end connected to the bubble generating device and the other end connected to the water tub. The other end of the connecting pipe is located above a water level in the water tub. The bubble generating device selectively performs a bubble generating process in which bubbles are generated and supplied into the water tub, or a water circulating process in which water from the water tub circulates through the connecting pipe and flows back to the water tub.

Bubble generating device and washing machine having the same

A washing machine and control methods thereof to enhance washing quality, even when using eco-friendly natural soap-based detergent. Controlling a rinse water temperature based on a wash water temperature to reduce a temperature difference therebetween prevents gelation caused by natural soap-based detergent and maximizes washing quality when using this type of detergent.
