The laundry care apparatus comprises a rotatably mounted inner tub (106) for accommodating items of laundry (108), a drive motor (105) for rotating the inner tub (106), a pumping device (120) for recirculating the washing liquid out of the inner tub (106) and back into the inner tub (106), a heating element (132) for heating the washing liquid, and a control device (118) for controlling the drive motor (105), the pumping device (120) and the heating element (132) in accordance with a laundry care program running on the control device (118) during operation of the apparatus. The control device (118) is designed to deactivate, when the heating element (132) is activated, the pumping device (120) as soon as the amount of washing liquid in the inner tub (106) falls below a minimum amount threshold value.
