Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2426246A1] The method involves activating a flowing device (17) during a washing phase and a rinsing phase. Washing fluid (19) is transported from a lower region of a detergent container (2) into an upper region by the flowing device with respect to an operational raising position of a washing machine (1). Time of dropping levels is detected after activating the flowing device based on an upper limit value still obtaining a lower limit value and evaluated to determine a predetermined error-free function of the flowing device. Laundry amount and laundry type are detected in a detection phase. An independent claim is also included for a washing machine comprising a detergent container.
