Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2143837A1] A drum-type washing machine is disclosed, and during a step of peeling the laundry off rotary drum (53), controller (57) of the washing machine compares a magnitude of vibrations sensed by acceleration sensor (56) and corresponding to a rotary cycle of rotary drum (53) with another magnitude of vibrations sensed by acceleration sensor (56) and corresponding to another rotary cycle of drum (53), so that the controller (57) determines whether or not the laundry is peeled off the inner wall of drum (53). This structure allows sensing accurately the vibration of water tub (52) and also sensing more properly the status whether or not the laundry in drum (53) is peeled off.
