    摘要: A laundry machine washer-dryer combination includes a cabinet, a drum, a heater, an air duct, a container, and a fluid loop. The cabinet defines an internal chamber. The drum is disposed in the internal chamber and is configured to receive clothing articles. The heater is disposed in the internal chamber and is configured to heat air flowing to the drum during a drying cycle. The air duct is disposed in the internal chamber and is configured direct air from the drum to the heater during the drying cycle. The container is disposed in the internal chamber and has an energy storage material disposed therein. The fluid loop is configured to transfer heat from the air flowing through the air duct to the energy storage material during the drying cycle.

    摘要: A heat pump appliance may include a cabinet, a sealed thermodynamic assembly, a blower fan, a temperature sensor, and a controller. The sealed thermodynamic assembly may include a fluid compressor, an evaporator, and a condenser disposed along the air path. The temperature sensor may be mounted to the evaporator to detect temperature at the evaporator. The controller may be configured to direct a drying operation. The drying operation may include activating the fluid compressor to motivate a refrigerant through the sealed thermodynamic assembly, activating the blower fan to motivate the airflow across the condenser, directing the fluid compressor to an inactive state following activating the blower fan, detecting an evaporator temperature at the temperature sensor while the fluid compressor is in the inactive state following activating the blower fan, and adjusting activation of the blower fan based on the detected evaporator temperature.

    摘要: A method for preparing and/or monitoring the wet treatment of items of laundry wherein the items of laundry are counted using their electronic data carriers. An electronic data carrier of the item of laundry is determined. If more than a single electronic data carrier is detected, this indicates that there are multiple connected items of laundry which do not permit washing. The electronic data carriers can be used to determine the number of items of laundry loaded into a washing machine and the number of items of the same unloaded batch of laundry. If the unloaded batch of laundry has a lower number of electronic data carriers than during loading, this indicates that not all the items have been unloaded from the washing machine and there is a risk of the washing machine becoming blocked.

    摘要: The washing machine includes control buttons controlling the washing machine to operate, and the washing machine is controlled to be connected/disconnected with a WiFi/to enter in a WiFi configuration mode by obtaining a trigger duration of one of the control buttons. The washing machine is controlled to be connected/disconnected with the WiFi/to enter in the WiFi configuration mode through the trigger duration of the control buttons, which realizes connection controllability of the washing machine and the WiFi, a user can control whether the washing machine is connected with the WiFi and enters in the WiFi configuration mode to configure a connection of the washing machine and the WiFi according to his/her own needs, which avoids conditions that the washing machine is directly connected with the WiFi and the user controls the washing machine mistakenly, and the safety of remote control of the washing machine is improved.
