Abstract:
1. A method of operating a laundry treating appliance having a rotatable treating chamber in which laundry is received for treatment, the method comprising: determining a moisture content of the laundry to define a pre-supply moisture content and recording the determined pre-supply moisture content in a controller; supplying a charge of liquid to the treating chamber to wet laundry within the treating chamber; determining a volume of the charge of liquid supplied to the treating chamber; extracting liquid from the laundry to form an extracted amount of liquid in the treating chamber by rotating the treating chamber until the moisture content substantially equals the pre-supply moisture content stored in the controller; storing in a tank the extracted amount of liquid for subsequent use; estimating the volume of the extracted amount of liquid stored in the tank as substantially equal to the determined volume of the charge of liquid supplied to the treating chamber; and returning the extracted amount of liquid stored in the tank to the treating chamber.
