At least one of these is so arranged that, above a given movement frequency of the component due to imbalance, movements of the mass out from the external position are frequency-independent or frequency-dependent components of the mass movement lying in a predetermined region. Independent claims are also included for the following: (A) A household appliance having a drum and comprising the above;and (B) A detection method for the above device.
