Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1108809A1] The device has a first electrode formed by or attached to a wall of a washing drum (4) and at a first potential and a second fixed electrode (9) at a second potential at a small distance from the first electrode. The distance varies with load and the capacitance corresponding to the distance is measured by a measurement device (16). Independent claims are also included for the following: a method of measuring the weight of a washing load in a washing machine.
