  • Patent number: 9885137
    Abstract: A washing machine and a method of controlling the washing machine are provided. In the washing machine and the method of controlling the washing machine, a liquid detergent is automatically supplied into a washing tub, thereby improving user convenience. In addition, in the washing machine and the method of controlling the washing machine, a liquid detergent is supplied into the washing tub by water circulated by a circulation unit. Thus, no liquid detergent remains in a liquid detergent supply path, and the liquid detergent supply path can be prevented from being blocked due to the solidification of a liquid detergent.

  • Publication number: 20150377540
    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a main body having a storage compartment, a door provided at the main body, a refrigerating portion which refrigerates the storage compartment using a compressor, a condenser, a depressurizer and an evaporator which are connected with a refrigerant pipe, and a heat transfer portion having a first flow passage portion which is disposed adjacent to the refrigerant pipe of the refrigerating portion and receives heat from the refrigerant pipe, and a second flow passage portion which is disposed at a front surface of the main body with which the door comes in contact and to which heat of the first flow passage portion is transferred. As a first cycle for refrigerating the storage compartment and a second cycle for providing heat to the front surface of the main body are provided separately preventing a decrease in refrigerating capability and an increase in power consumption.
