摘要： The present disclosure relates to a tumble dryer (1) with a filter arrangement (12) located in a tumble dryer process air flow (21) for removing lint from process air leaving tumble dryer drum. The filter arrangement comprises a first coarse-mesh filter (25) and a second fine filter (27). A first sensor (41) detects a correct positioning of the first filter in the tumble dryer, and a second sensor (33) detects a pressure drop over a process air flow path comprising the second filter. A control arrangement (45) is configured to initiate a disabling operation which disables the fan arrangement (12), if the first filter is not correctly positioned in the tumble dryer or if the pressure drop over the second filter exceeds a predetermined threshold value.

摘要： A laundry appliance includes a rotating drum for processing laundry. A blower directs process air through an airflow path that includes the rotating drum. A heat exchanger is positioned within the airflow path that dehumidifies the process air. A fixedly-secured lint filter captures lint from the process air at a position upstream of the heat exchanger. A fluid spray system has spray nozzles that deliver fluid to a surface of the fixedly-secured lint filter. Each spray nozzle of the plurality of spray nozzles directs captured lint away from the fixedly-secured lint filter.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to a laundry treatment machine. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a laundry treatment machine includes a controller controlling a motor, during dewatering, to be driven at a first speed when a lift is at a first level and to drive the motor at a second speed greater than the first speed when the lift is at a second level greater than the first level, wherein the lift is a difference between a water level of a water introduction part through which water flows into a drain pump and a water level of a water discharge part through which the water is discharged out of the drain pump. Accordingly, noise or vibration can be reduced even if the lift is changed during the dewatering.

摘要： A laundry appliance includes a compartment defined within a cabinet. A cartridge is selectively received within the compartment. The cartridge includes a self-actuating pump for dispensing a consumable from an interior of the cartridge. A mixing chamber is positioned under the self-actuating pump. The mixing chamber receives a dispensed portion of the consumable. A fluid dispenser dispenses a base fluid into the mixing chamber. The fluid dispenser is upstream of the self-actuating pump and the base fluid carries the dispensed portion to a processing chamber contained within the cabinet.

摘要： A clothes dryer filter assembly for a clothes dryer includes a bottom portion configured to be coupled to an exhaust conduit, a center portion coupled to the bottom portion, and a top portion coupled to the center portion. The center portion is positioned between the bottom and top portions. The assembly includes a turbulence generator positioned within the bottom portion configured to generate turbulent airflow from air received from the exhaust of the clothes dryer. In addition, a lint filter is hingedly positioned within the center portion and downstream of the turbulence generator. The lint filter is configured to swing at least partially open in response to pressure from the turbulent air flow being blocked by lint trapped on the lint filter. The assembly includes an air deflector positioned within the bottom portion to direct an air flow to a side of the bottom portion.

摘要： A fluid flow system for a laundry appliance includes a blower that delivers process air along an airflow path having a heat exchanger. A drain channel receives condensate from the heat exchanger and fluid spray from a spray nozzle for directing lint particles to the drain channel and on to a sump for collecting fluid, including the condensate. A pump seat and a fluid outlet are integrally formed in a sump cover. A pump directs the fluid from the sump to the fluid outlet. A fluid level sensor detects at least minimum and maximum capacities of the fluid in the sump. When the fluid is below the minimum capacity, the pump defines an idle state. When the fluid reaches the minimum capacity, the pump defines an active state. When the fluid exceeds the maximum capacity, the pump directs the fluid to the fluid outlet.
