CLOTHES TREATMENT APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2014004060
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a clothes treatment apparatus capable of efficiently feeding steam to clothes.

The clothes treatment apparatus includes a housing tub 200 for housing clothes and a steam feeding mechanism 300 for feeding steam to the housing tub 200. The steam feeding mechanism 300 includes: a steam generator for generating steam; a water storage tank 320 for storing water to generate steam; water feeding means 330 for feeding water in the water storage tank 320 to the steam generator; and water level detection means for detecting a water level of the water storage tank 320. The apparatus is also provided with control means for controlling the steam generator, the water feeding means 330, and a series of washing, dewatering and/or drying operations. The control means determines that the water feeding means 330 is abnormal or that clogging is generated between the water feeding means 330 and the housing tub 200 when the water level detected by the water level detection means is not substantially changed before and after a steam generation operation for feeding steam to the housing tub 200.
