Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0898009A1] Determining the loading volume of a laundry dryer comprises moving the washing in a drum (1). The electric conductance of the laundry is determined by means of electrodes (12.1), which touch the washing at least intermittently. The fluctuation range of the conductance value is determined and serves as a measure for the loading volume.
