  • Patent number: 11591737
    Abstract: A washing machine in which a first main heater is not driven while wash water stored in a first tub and wash water stored in a second tub are simultaneously heated, and a method of controlling the same. A washing machine includes: a first tub configured to store wash water; a first main heater configured to heat wash water stored in the first tub; a first sub heater configured to heat wash water stored in the first tub; a second tub configured to store wash water; and a second heater configured to heat wash water stored in the second tub, wherein a power consumption required to drive the first main heater is greater than a power consumption required to drive the first sub heater, and the first main heater is not driven while wash water stored in the first tube and wash water stored in the second tub are simultaneously heated.

  • Patent number: 9752269
    Abstract: A washing machine includes a casing, a tub installed within the casing, a cover coupled to the top of the casing and having an opening for introduction of laundry, a control panel attached to the cover to enable selection of a washing mode, and a lower electric component located below the tub, such as a drive device. The washing machine may be manufactured to further include an integrated wire harness having one side coupled to the control panel and the other side coupled to the lower electric component for transmission of an electrical signal, and a guide provided at an upper edge of the casing such that the wire harness is fixed to and extends along the guide. The integrated wire harness may achieve reduction of manufacturing costs and prevent fire of the washing machine due to insulation breakage.
