Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2008000610A1] The invention relates to a method for handling laundry in a washing machine with a water level sensor (15), for determining the hydrostatic pressure (p) of the fluid in the lye container (1). Water is introduced in the lye container to a pre-determined hydrostatic pressure p<SUB>1</SUB> with a preset pressure difference between hydrostatic pressure p<SUB>1</SUB> and a hydrostatic pressure p<SUB>2</SUB>. Firstly, (a) water is introduced to the lye container at a hydrostatic pressure below p<SUB>1</SUB> until the hydrostatic pressure p<SUB>1</SUB> is reached and (b) the introduction of water is then stopped until the hydrostatic pressure has dropped to p<SUB>2</SUB>. Furthermore, (c) the period t<SUB>n </SUB>for the n-th sequence of steps a) and b) is measured and (d) water introduction in step (a) stopped when (d1) the sum of the periods t<SUB>1</SUB> to t<SUB>n</SUB> is greater than a given value t<SUB>max</SUB> or (d2) the period t<SUB>n</SUB> is greater than a given period t<SUB>min</SUB>. The invention also relates to a corresponding washing machine.
