Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0335790A1] Washing machine having the speed of the drum drive motor (11) under the servo-control of a nominal value supplied by a programmer (10), such as a microprocessor. The servo-control error signal is also used to detect unbalances in the drum, in order to slow the latter when this error signal exceeds a limit value. The error signal used for detecting unbalances or the limit value has a value which is a function of the inertia of the laundry in the drum before spinning. <IMAGE>
