20110016927 | LAUNDRY TREATING MACHINE - The laundry treating machine includes a silencer for covering the upper space over the drain hole, whereby the upper space over the drain hole is always filled with washing water and the generation of a vortex is prevented. Thus, abnormal noise during drainage is prevented, thereby contributing to a quiet operation of the washing machine and improving consumer trust. | 01-27-2011 |
20110030425 | WASHING MACHINE - Provided is a washing machine. The washing machine includes an outer tub, an inner tub, and a pulsator. The pulsator includes a base and a plurality of ribs. The ribs include an upper surface and a side surface. The upper surface extends from the hub to an outer side along a radial direction to meet a circumference of the base. The side surface declines from the upper surface to the base. The side surface includes a first side surface and a second side surface. The first side surface has a boundary with an inner side of the base. The boundary radially diverges outward in a circumference direction. The second side surface extends from the first side surface along the circumference of the base and the upper surface. | 02-10-2011 |
20110047713 | METHOD OF TREATING LAUNDRY - A method of treating laundry is provided, which sequentially supplies wash water having a temperature higher than a user's setup temperature and wash water having a temperature lower than the user's setup temperature to perform a washing cycle, thereby raising the washing efficiency without increasing the usage of detergent as well as maintaining the temperature of wash water to the user's setup temperature. | 03-03-2011 |
20110047714 | LAUNDRY TREATMENT MACHINE AND THE METHOD OF THE SAME - A lint filter in a laundry treatment machine includes a lower filter for filtering out debris of washing water and an upper filter for collecting debris as well as filtering out foreign substances of washing water flowed in from the lower filter. Since debris is collected in the upper filter, recontamination by debris can be prevented and cleaning of a lint filter can be simplified. The upper filter and the lower filter are connected by a connection path and as washing water and debris in the lower filter move to the upper filter at the time rising water flows of washing water are generated, debris can be collected inside the upper filter, and debris can be collected by using rising flows of washing water. A filter cover is combined with a filter frame and a filter body as a tightly coupled single body, and the filter cover is detached only from the filter frame while tightly coupled with the filter body, so that attaching and detaching is made simple and cleaning thereof can be simplified. | 03-03-2011 |
20110047715 | METHOD OF CONTROLLING WASHING MACHINE - A method of controlling a washing machine is provided. The rotation and rotation driving time of a inner tub having an auto balancer are controlled based on preset values considering sections during which a horizontal unbalancing phenomenon and a vertical unbalancing phenomenon occur. Accordingly, abnormal vibrations and resultant damage or deformation of the washing machine may be prevented. Further, electricity may be saved. | 03-03-2011 |
20110048079 | HOME APPLIANCE - A home appliance that has increased accuracy and sensing speed of a cord-off compared to a voltage detecting method using a RMS value of commercial AC and thus may quickly perform subsequent operations for user's safety and convenience is provided. | 03-03-2011 |
20110061171 | WASHING MACHINE AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - The present invention relates to a washing machine and a method of operating the washing machine. In operating the washing machine according to inputted settings, each washing cycle is divided into a plurality of steps, and a washing tub or pulsator is controlled to be differently operated for each step. Accordingly, the washing machine may be operated in various patterns to effectively remove contaminants from the laundry. | 03-17-2011 |
20110121694 | WASHING MACHINE - A washing machine comprising a cabinet, a top cover arranged at an upper surface of the cabinet and has a laundry entrance hole, wherein the upper surface of the cabinet opens, and a lid assembly arranged at the top cover and opens/closes the laundry entrance hole is provided. A handle is provided at a front side of the lid assembly. The handle protrudes forwards more than the top cover, wherein the handle and the top cover are arranged to be spaced apart from each other in upper and lower directions and in front and rear directions, thereby defining spaces between the handle and the top cover so a user's hand is inserted into the spaces to hold the handle and lifts the lid assembly. | 05-26-2011 |
20110126358 | WASHING MACHINE AND A METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - Provided are a washing machine and a method of controlling the washing machine, which can effectively wet laundry by varying a spraying pattern for spraying washing water into a washing tub considering water pressure of the washing water supplied to the washing tub even when the water pressure varies. | 06-02-2011 |
20110126359 | WASHING MACHINE AND A METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - Provided are a washing machine and a method of controlling the washing machine. The method includes measuring a time required for an amount of washing water supplied to a washing tub to reach a predetermined reference amount, determining a water pressure of the washing water in accordance with the measured time, and varying a water supply time in accordance with the determined water pressure. The water supply time can be adjusted according to the water pressure, it can be prevented that the washing performance is varied whenever the wash water is varied. Thus, the washing performance can be improved regardless of the water pressure. | 06-02-2011 |
