Abstract (en)

[origin: US2008072383A1] A method for operating a washing machine includes cyclically reading values detected by a sensor for detecting a weight of a washing assembly container of the washing machine. At least a last read value of the read values is stored. A rest position of the container is determined as long as the read values are below a predetermined tolerance level. The control unit is activated when a read value of the read values exceeds the predetermined tolerance level.
