Abstract (en)

[origin: DE102004043838B3] The washing machine has an evaluation unit in its control unit (5) and a sensor for detecting the weight of the container. The method involves cyclically reading sensor (6) values, storing at least the last value read, determining the rest position of the container if the read in value is less than a tolerance level relative to the stored value, activating the control unit as soon as a read in value exceeds the tolerance level relative to the stored value(s).
