Abstract: A laundry treating appliance includes a clothes mover coupled to a motor, and a controller arranged to control the motor. The controller determines a respective value of a first parameter and a second parameter, and compares the determined values with predetermined respective threshold values. Based on the comparing, the controller selects a motor actuation sequence comprising a first power cycle having a first ON period and first OFF period, and a second power cycle having a second ON period and second OFF period. Each first and second ON period includes providing power to the motor for a respective first and third duration, and each first and second OFF period includes cutting off power to the motor for a respective second and fourth duration. The controller controls a speed of rotation of the clothes mover by triggering the first power cycle and a second power cycle to the motor.
