Claim 10:
11. The method of claim 1, wherein performing the correction operation to address the entrapment condition comprises:
operating the drum motor to slow the drum below the target rotation speed;
operating the drum motor to accelerate the drum from below the target rotation speed to the target rotation speed; and
upon reaching the target rotation speed, performing a second entrapment determination process comprising:
performing a second plurality of rotations at the target rotation speed,
determining at least one respective drum motor torque value for each of the second plurality of rotations,
determining at least one second distribution characteristic value of the drum motor torque values of the second plurality of rotations,
comparing the at least one second distribution characteristic value of the drum motor torque values of the second plurality of rotations to a respective second predetermined threshold value,
upon determining that the at least one second distribution characteristic value of the drum motor torque values of the second plurality of rotations is above the respective second predetermined threshold value, performing a further correction operation, and
upon determining that each at least one second distribution characteristic value of the drum motor torque values of the second plurality of rotations is below the respective second predetermined threshold value, proceeding with the laundry washing cycle.
