摘要： A laundry washing machine and method of operating same for the purpose of automatically determining a soil level of a laundry load from two turbidity readings taken before a washing cycle commences, such as during a pre-wash, filling phase. The machine is configured to detect a load size, add a first amount of water and take a first turbidity reading. A first dose of detergent is then added, a second amount of water added and the wetted load is gently tumbled/agitated before taking a second turbidity reading. A value based upon a ratio of the turbidity readings can determine the soil level of the load in order to choose a wash-related parameter, such as how much detergent to use for the subsequent complete wash cycle and/or the duration thereof.

摘要： A method for controlling a washing machine supplying water to at least a portion of the drum in the tub, performing a first operation in which the water contained in the tub is heated by operating a heater and the drum is rotated at a first set speed, draining the tub, supplying water to submerge at least a portion of the drum in the tub, and performing a second operation for heating the water in the tub by the heater and rotating the drum. The second operation includes rotating the drum at a second set speed lower than the first set speed, and repeating a first drum cleaning operation in which the drum is rotated at a third set speed lower than the second set speed, and a second drum cleaning operation in which the drum is rotated at a fourth set speed lower than the third set speed.

摘要： A laundry appliance includes a basket rotatably mounted within a cabinet and defining a chamber configured for receiving a load of clothes, a water supply valve for regulating a flow of water into the chamber, and a camera assembly mounted within the cabinet in view of the chamber. A controller is configured to determine that the water supply valve is open to permit the flow of water into the chamber, identify an anticipated fog condition within the chamber based at least in part on the water supply valve being open, obtaining one or more images of the chamber using the camera assembly, analyzing the one or more images of the chamber to determine an actual fog condition in the chamber, and implementing a responsive action if the actual fog condition is different than the anticipated fog condition, e.g., providing a user notification.

摘要： A laundry washing machine having a casing (624), a tub (606) supported in the casing, a drum (608) mounted in the tub and configured to rotate about a vertical axis (Av), an agitator (610) mounted in the drum and configured to rotate about the vertical axis, a motor (614) and transmission (616) operatively connected to the drum and the agitator, a valve (620) operatively connected to control a flow of water from a water supply to the tub, a user interface (700) configured to receive operator input, and a control unit (626) having a processor (500) and a memory (502), the memory having stored therein instructions. When executed, the instructions cause the control unit to operate the laundry washing machine to: receive a selection of user preferences via the user interface, the user preferences comprising at least a washing program having a default wash filling process in which the valve is opened to direct water into the tub at a beginning of the washing program, receive a user command to operate the washing machine according to the user preferences, determine whether or not the user preferences include a selection of a unit dose package mode having instructions to modify the default wash filling process, and based on this determination: operate the washing machine to execute the user preferences without applying the instructions to modify the default wash filling process if the user preferences do not include the selection of the unit dose package mode, or operate the washing machine to execute the user preferences with applying the instructions to modify the default wash filling process if the user preferences do include the selection of the unit dose package mode.
