Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2692929A2] A method for controlling dehydration in a drum washing machine, which repetitively measures an unbalance value at different speeds during balance spin-drying for spreading laundry items before main spin-drying is performed in a drum washing machine, and senses an unbalance for forward and backward directions of a drum as well as an unbalance for the rotational direction of the drum so that the laundry items are redistributed in a relatively normal manner. Thus, since vibrations of the tub may be reduced during the spin-drying process, the spin-drying efficiency may be improved.
