Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0885993A1] Washing or similar machine, the oscillating washing assembly of which comprises a tub (10) and a rotating drum (13). The dynamic trim of the oscillating assembly is monitored by a transducer (28), which is adapted to convert the relative oscillating displacements of the oscillating assembly with respect to the outer stationary structure of the machine into corresponding pressure variations, and a therewith associated manometric device (30). According to the invention, the latter is a differential pressure switch with which also the level of the washing liquor in the oscillating group is at the same time controlled separately. <IMAGE>
