Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008003577A1] A method for treating laundry in a program-controlled washing machine with a sensor (15) for determining the height of a liquid in the liquor container (1), the sensor signal of which is recorded during the method, and a drum (2), characterized in that, in a wetting phase a) while the drum (2) is rotating, water is filled in until a specified threshold value (p1, p2, p3) is reached for the hydrostatic pressure p and until a specified threshold value ((p/t)1, (p/t)2, (p/t)3) is reached for the temporal gradient of the hydrostatic pressure p, and/or b), at a specified time (t1, t2, t3) in the method, the rotation of the drum (2) is stopped and the filling-in of water is ended, and the change in the hydrostatic pressure p because of the water running back is evaluated for determining a loading amount; as well as a washing machine suitable for carrying out the method.
