  • Patent number: 12203205
    Abstract: A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a tub, a drum having a drum opening in communication with a tub opening, a gasket for connecting a laundry inlet of the cabinet and the tub opening to each other, a pump for pumping water discharged from the tub to the tub, and a circulation portion that supplies water pumped by the pump into the tub and includes a circulation flow path portion for guiding water pumped by the pump to the gasket and a nozzle portion connected to the circulation flow path portion to spray water into the tub. The nozzle portion includes a nozzle spray portion coupled to the gasket to pass therethrough to spray water into the tub, and a nozzle coupling portion extending from the nozzle spray portion to be coupled to the tub. The nozzle coupling portion supports the nozzle spray portion.

  • Patent number: 11613838
    Abstract: A laundry treating apparatus includes: a cabinet; a tub provided inside the cabinet; a drum provided inside the tub; an electric heater coupled to a bottom portion of the tub to heat wash water inside the tub; and a bracket provided at the tub to support the electric heater to be spaced apart from the bottom. The bracket includes an electric heater receiving portion in which the electric heater is received therein, and a sensing portion protruding upward at an upper one side of the electric heater receiving portion to sense the mis-assembly of the electric heater. As a result, the mis-assembly of the electric heater may be quickly recognized.
