Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3819417A1] The proposed invention relates to a method for detecting the natural vibration frequencies in the body (4) of a laundry washing machine while it is in operation with regard to the quality of its placement and the base on which it is placed. The method comprises an active system for detecting the transfer of force to the base, which enables the simultaneous detection of the eccentric and dynamic load in the drum and the identification of the dynamic properties of the washing machine. By controlling the rotational frequency of the washing machine drum, it is possible to actively adjust the washing cycle according to the loads in the drum and the dynamic properties of the washing machine. According to the proposed invention, at least one calibration is anticipated at the user's place of installation of the washing machine, which is used to identify the dynamic properties of the entire washing machine-base system.
