Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1111117A1] The positioning method has the electric motor (7) for the washing drum used for rotating the latter at a constant angular velocity, with disconnection of the electric motor when the washing drum reaches a defined position, selected so that the washing drum continues to rotate into a required target position using the inertia of the rotating system and/or the force resulting from the movement of the washing load in the washing drum. A position sensor (9) detects the actual washing drum position, for initiating a new drive phase with an adjusted motor cut-out point when the target position is not attained.
