Claim 19:
20. A method of calibrating a laundry washing machine installed at an installation location, the method comprising:
upon initial startup of the laundry washing machine, prompting a user to confirm that installation of the laundry washing machine is complete;
prompting the user to open a door of the laundry washing machine and confirm that normal and/or ambient lighting conditions for the installation location are present;
generating a color correction factor associated with the installation location of the laundry washing machine by using a color detection sensor of the laundry washing machine to capture color composition data of a wash tub of the laundry washing machine while the wash tub is empty;
generating a calibration factor associated with a water pressure of the water supply by controlling a water inlet of the laundry washing machine to dispense water into the wash tub while the wash tub is empty and determining a time to reach a predetermined fluid level sensed by a fluid level sensor of the laundry washing machine;
generating an empty weight factor associated with the wash tub by using a weight sensor to capture a plurality of weight values during rotation of a wash basket disposed in the wash tub about an axis of rotation and while the wash tub is empty; and
thereafter setting the laundry washing machine in a normal operation state such that during the performance of a wash cycle in the laundry washing machine, the color correction factor, the calibration factor and the empty weight factor are used to set one or more operational settings for the wash cycle.
