Abstract:
A method for operating a front-loading washing machine with a washing aggregate consisting of a tub holding a rotatably-mounted drum suspended in the machine housing so as to be able to oscillate with a midaxis descending from front to back and equipped with an imbalance sensor that changes the rotation of the drum by means of a control program when an imbalance occurs in the spin cycle, wherein,when the drum is loaded with the laundry type â€œcottonsâ€ , the weight and the absorbency of the loaded laundry is determined, and, up to a preset weight of 25 to 35% of the maximum allowed dry weight and up to an absorbency of less than 150% of the preset weight, the imbalance sensor and its effects on the control program are disabled and the laundry in the drum is spun at the maximum speed.
