Abstract:
1. A method of operation of a laundry treating appliance having a rotatable drum at least partially defining a treating chamber for receiving a laundry load for treatment, and a motor operably coupled to the drum for rotating the drum, the method comprising: a) determining an amount of the laundry load within the treating chamber; b) setting an acceleration profile comprising setting at least one acceleration rate based on the determined amount of the laundry load; c) accelerating the drum, with the motor, according to the acceleration profile from a non-satellizing speed to a satellizing speed; d) monitoring the amount of imbalance of the drum during the accelerating; e) decelerating the drum from the satellizing speed to a non-satellizing speed when the imbalance is unacceptable; f) re-setting the acceleration profile to a different acceleration profile and repeating c)-f) until the imbalance is acceptable; and g) storing the different acceleration profile for a corresponding load amount when the imbalance is acceptable to define an acceptable acceleration profile.
