Abstract (en)

[origin: US2010147038A1] The invention relates to a laundry treatment device, particularly a washing machine, or a laundry dryer, comprising a housing (1), a container (3) suspended in the housing (1) in a swiveling manner, and an apparatus (2) for detecting the position and/or the arrangement of the container (3) in the housing (1), wherein the detection unit (2) comprises a magnetic field-generating clement (2b) and a detector unit (2a) for detecting a magnetic flux density of the magnetic field. The position detection unit (2) is characterized in that the detector unit (2a)) also detects the direction of the magnetic field lines of the magnetic field and determines the position of the container (3) as a function of the flux density and the field line direction.
