Abstract: A clothes dryer having a drum having an inner surface at least partially defining a treating chamber in combination with a dispensing system that sprays a fabric-condition substance onto an inner surface of the drum for subsequent distribution to the fabric articles. The dispensing system may have a variable delivery system to vary the distribution pattern of the fabric-condition substance into the treating chamber. The flow characteristic of the fabric-conditioning substance may also be varied as it is dispensed.

Abstract: A method for treating a consumer article wherein a treating chemistry is activated or deactivated by the introduction of steam.

Abstract: An automatic washing machine including a tub, a drum mounted for rotating within the tub, a treating chamber for receiving laundry to be treated, a door selectively moveable between opened and closed conditions to provide access to the treating chamber, a position sensor configured to sense the opened and closed conditions of the door and accordingly output a door condition signal, a humidity reduction device coupled to the treating chamber, and a controller configured to execute a treating cycle of operation and operably coupled with the position sensor to receive the door condition signal and the humidity reduction device to control its actuation, and further configured to operate the humidity reduction device and to rotate the drum to reduce the humidity in the treating chamber in response to the door being opened and subsequently closed after the completion of the treating cycle of operation.

Abstract: A laundry treating appliance having a treating chamber for receiving laundry and configured to perform one or more cycles of operation and method for actively dehumidifying the treating chamber of a laundry treating appliance to retard or eliminate the adverse effects of moisture-laden laundry remaining in the treating chamber or moisture remaining in the treating chamber or other areas of the laundry treating appliance.

Abstract: A method for treating laundry in a clothes dryer having a rotating drum defining a treatment chamber that includes applying a treating chemistry, which may include a treating chemistry that benefits from uniform distribution, on the laundry and drying the laundry after the applying of the treating chemistry.

Abstract: A modular system according to one embodiment of the invention for treating a fabric load comprises a first module and a second module. The first module can include a chamber having an interior for holding a fabric load, and the second module can have at least one of a fluid delivery system, a fluid removal system, and a fluid recycling system. The modular system can further include conduits for coupling the systems of the second module with the first module.
