Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008012206A1] The invention relates to a method of determining a loading quantity (m) for a laundry-treatment appliance, in particular a washing machine, a washer drier or a tumble drier, having a container system which is supported resiliently in a housing (1) and in which is arranged a drum (8) for accommodating the load (7), and having a device (2) for detecting displacement of the container system in relation to the housing (1), comprising the following steps: detecting displacement (z<SUB>1</SUB>) of the container system in relation to the housing (1) in a first direction (z), detecting displacement (y<SUB>1</SUB>) of the container system in relation to the housing (1) in at least a second direction (x, y), which differs from the first direction (z), and determining the loading quantity (m) in dependence on the displacement (y<SUB>1</SUB>, z<SUB>1</SUB>) detected in the first and second directions (y, z). The invention also relates to a laundry-treatment appliance which is suitable for implementing the method.
