Abstract: A laundry appliance or method of coordinating engagement with a laundry appliance may provide a cabinet and a motor in mechanical communication with a rotating element disposed within the cabinet. The method may include receiving an owner input defining a time period of a restricted state and holding the laundry appliance in the restricted state at the defined time period, the restricted state prohibiting activation of the motor.

Abstract: A method of operating a group of household appliances includes providing a prompt to perform a proximity test and determining, by a primary household appliance of the group of household appliances, that a distance between the primary household appliance and a secondary household appliance of the group of household appliances is less than a proximity threshold. The method further includes receiving an input at a user interface of the primary household appliance and activating the secondary household appliance in response to the input received at the user interface of the primary household appliance.

Abstract: A domestic appliance or method of operating a domestic appliance may include receiving power from an unpowered state. The method may also include determining an appliance relocation in response to receiving power from the unpowered state. The method may further include directing a calibration routine based on determining the appliance relocation. The calibration routine may include opening a water valve and closing the water valve according to a predetermined valve sequence or activating a motor mounted within a cabinet of the domestic appliance according to a predetermined motor sequence.

Abstract: A dryer appliance and a method of operating the dryer for a warming operation is provided. The dryer appliance includes an air handler to urge the flow of air through a chamber rotatably mounted in a cabinet and a heating assembly for heating the flow of air. A controller controls the heating assembly and the air handler to initiate a warming operation for an article in the chamber. The warming operation includes receiving input parameters for a warming operation and determining a duration of the warming operation from the input parameters. Based on the input parameters and duration of the warming operation a start time is determined and the warming operation is initiated at the determined start time.

Abstract: A dryer appliance may include a cabinet, a drum, an additive dispensing assembly, and a controller. The drum may define a drying chamber for receipt of clothes for drying. The additive dispensing assembly may be positioned within the cabinet and configured to selectively provide a dryer additive to the drying chamber. The controller may be in operable communication with the additive dispensing assembly. The controller may be configured to initiate a drying operation. The drying operation may include obtaining washer operating parameters from a washing machine appliance, determining an occurrence end time of a washing operation occurrence based on obtaining washer operating parameter, initiating a dry cycle for a laundry load following obtaining the washer operating parameters, and directing a supplemental dispensing action of the dryer additive at the additive dispensing assembly based on the occurrence end time of the washing operation occurrence.

Abstract: A washing machine appliance or method for operating the same may include determining a self-clean condition exists at one or more washing machine appliances and identifying a daily availability or coordinated arrangement for one or more self-clean cycles. The method may also include prompting a user to initiate the one or more self-clean cycles. The method may further include receiving a cycle-initiation command and initiating the one or more self-clean cycles at the one or more washing machine appliances within the daily availability window or based on the coordinated arrangement.

Abstract: A laundry treatment appliance includes a tub provided in a cabinet; a user interface provided on the cabinet; a remote communication module provided within the cabinet; and a controller provided within the cabinet and operably coupled to the user interface and the remote communication module, the controller being configured to direct a laundry operation. The laundry operation includes establishing a remote connection between the laundry treatment appliance and a remote terminal; transmitting a laundry cycle request to the remote terminal; importing one or more predetermined cycle settings from the remote terminal in response to transmitting the laundry cycle request; and initiating a laundry cycle corresponding to the laundry cycle request within the laundry treatment appliance, the laundry cycle comprising the one or more predetermined cycle settings.

Abstract: A method of operating a dryer appliance is provided that includes obtaining washer operating parameters from a washing machine appliance that is linked to the dryer appliance and obtaining dryer operating parameters of the dryer appliance. These parameters are transmitted to a remote server along with a user input such as a selected dryness level. The method further includes receiving operating instructions from the remote server and adjusting at least one operating parameter of the dryer appliance based on the operating instructions.

Abstract: A method for preventing an oversuds condition in a washing machine appliance includes a tub and a basket rotatably mounted within the tub. The basket defines a chamber for receipt of articles for washing. The method includes obtaining, via a controller, one or more detergent parameters from one or more previous wash cycles of the washing machine appliance. Further, the method includes analyzing, via the controller, the one or more detergent parameters to predict an amount of suds that will be generated in a future wash cycle of the washing machine appliance. Moreover, the method includes automatically adjusting, via the controller, at least one operating parameter for the future wash cycle based on the predicted amount of suds to prevent the amount of suds from exceeding a suds threshold.
