Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2520701A2] A test method for washing machines (M) is disclosed in the present invention. Said method comprises the steps of initiating the test process (10), once the closing of the door (3) and the use of the control element (1, 2) in a determined order and/or combination are detected by the electronic control unit; checking the water amount (13) in the machine (M); supplying water (19) to the machine (M) if the amount is inadequate; checking the temperature sensor (6) (14); terminating the test (24) upon detecting a failure (21) in the temperature sensor (6) if no signal is received therefrom; measuring the water temperature and storing it (15) if a signal is received from the temperature sensor (6); activating the heater (5) (16) for some time period; measuring again the water temperature (17) and comparing the same to the initially-measured value (18); inferring the presence of a failure if the difference between the temperature values is lower than a threshold value.
