摘要： A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a tub, a drum, a water supply, a drain, a rotator rotatably disposed on a bottom surface of the drum, and a controller that controls rotation of the rotator. The rotator includes a bottom portion positioned on the bottom surface, a pillar protruding from the bottom portion toward an open surface, and a blade including a plurality of blades disposed to be spaced apart from each other along a circumferential direction of the pillar. The blade extends from the bottom portion toward the open surface in an inclined direction with respect to a longitudinal direction of the pillar. The rotator performs a first rotation for generating an ascending water flow and a second rotation for generating a descending water flow. The controller controls the rotator to alternately repeat the first rotation and the second rotation.

摘要： A laundry washing machine and method utilize a fluid property sensor to sense a fluid property of a fluid during a wash cycle to sense the level of detergent remaining in a load and control a rinse operation performed thereafter based upon the sensed fluid property. In some instances, the fluid property may be sensed while the load is being spun at a rate sufficient to cause fluid to be released from the load such that the sensed fluid property is based at least in part on fluid that was previously absorbed into the load. In addition, in some instances, the fluid property may be sensed during a spin phase of a wash cycle to selectively cause a wash cycle to selectively revert to an additional rinse phase when required, or otherwise proceed directly to the remainder of the spin phase to complete the wash cycle.
