Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0732437A1] A method is described for balancing the load of clothes in a laundry washing and/or drying machine of the type comprising a motor (MO) to generate a rotation of a drum containing the laundry, a control system (SC) for said motor (MO) and means (T) for detecting the balance conditions of the laundry load inside the drum, said method comprising an initial rotation phase (B') of the drum at a first speed capable of producing a substantial adhesion of the clothes to the drum walls, and a detection phase, during said initial phase (B'), of the load balance conditions, where one or more balance actions (R, A'',B'') of the load itself are provided should an unbalanced load condition be detected. According to the invention, said balance action or actions (R,A'',B'') are obtained maintaining the drum in continuous rotation, alternating phases (R) at a reduced rotation speed and phases (B'') operating at said first speed. <IMAGE>
