Abstract:
1. A method for operating a laundry treating appliance having a rotating treating chamber for receiving laundry for treatment, a motor rotating the treating chamber, and a controller operably coupled to the motor to control the rotation of the treating chamber according to a cycle of operation, the method comprising: a) rotating the treating chamber at a spin speed, which is a rotational speed sufficient to satellize the laundry in the treating chamber; b) determining a presence of an imbalance in the laundry; c) reducing the rotational speed of the treating chamber without ceasing the rotation of the treating chamber when the presence of an imbalanced is determined; d) monitoring the magnitude of the imbalance in a frequency domain during the reducing of the rotational speed; and e) increasing the rotational speed of the treating chamber to a spin speed in response to a reduction in the magnitude of the imbalance.
