Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3156536A1] A washing machine and method for detecting imbalance of the washing machine, comprising the following steps: running a dehydration process, and performing an eccentricity detection action in a test dehydration process performing eccentricity detection test dehydration action; a sensor module performing a eccentricity detection action to detect the eccentricity of a machine in real time, and setting a preliminary dehydration curve; when running a low-speed drain, the sensor module detects the low-speed eccentricity in real time; determining whether the detected low-speed eccentricity exceeds a set value; if yes, then correcting the low-speed eccentricity, and if not, then proceeding to the next step; when running a high-speed drain, the sensor module detects a high-speed eccentricity in real time; determining whether the high-speed eccentricity of the high-speed drain exceeds a set value; if yes, then correcting the high-speed eccentricity, and if not, then ending with a high-speed draining. The method employs active and real-time detection, avoiding the "jumps and bangs" phenomenon, and extending the service life of a washing machine.
