Abstract

A control method of a laundry machine is disclosed. The control method of a laundry machine comprising a circulating step configured to circulate water inside the tub to re-supply the water to the tub, the circulating step implemented in a heating step.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A control method of a laundry machine comprising:
 a circulating step configured to circulate water inside the tub to resupply the water to the tub, the circulating step implemented in a heating step.   
     
     
         2 . The control method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the circulating step implemented in the heating step has a relatively short operation time than circulating steps implemented in a water supplying step and a laundry wetting step have. 
     
     
         3 . The control method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the heating step drives the drum in one of a tumbling motion, a rolling motion and a swing motion. 
     
     
         4 . The control method as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the circulating step and the driving of the drum are stopped and water is re-supplied to a predetermined water level, when a water level of the tub is decreased less than a reference level. 
     
     
         5 . The control method as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein driving of a heater is stopped when the water is re-supplied to the tub. 
     
     
         6 . The control method of  claim 4 , wherein the reference water level is determined to be higher a predetermined distance than the height of the heater. 
     
     
         7 . The control method as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the heating step is re-implemented after the re-supply of the water to the tub. 
     
     
         8 . The control method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the laundry machine comprises a driving unit comprising a shaft connected to a drum, a bearing housing to rotatably support the shaft, and a motor to rotate the shaft, and a suspension assembly is connected to the driving unit. 
     
     
         9 . The control method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the laundry machine comprises a rear gasket for sealing to prevent washing water from leaking from a space between a driving unit and a tub, and enabling the driving unit movable relative to the tub. 
     
     
         10 . The control method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a tub is supported rigidly more than a drum being supported by a suspension assembly.
