Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011067285A1] The invention relates to a method for controlling a filling of a tub 20 of a washing machine 10 with water and a washing machine 10 that implements such method. The washing machine has a tub 20 tillable with water and hydraulically connected to at least two water inlets 30, 40 connectable to corresponding external water intakes 31, 41, a control valve 32, 42 in each water inlet for opening up and closing off the flow of water from the external water intakes to the tub, and a water level sensor 50 to detect a predetermined maximum water level in the tub. The method at the beginning of a wash cycle comprises the steps of opening the first control valve 32 to allow water to flow into the tub 20, measuring the water level in the tub, and if the maximum water level has been reached, continuing the wash cycle, or if the maximum water level has not been reached within a predetermined time, then opening the second control valve 42 to allow water to flow into the tub and implementing step b), namely, if the maximum water level has been reached, continuing the wash cycle, or if the maximum water level has not been reached within a predetermined time, then step b4) cancelling the wash cycle.
