A washing machine appliance, including one or more methods of operation, is provided herein. A method of operation may include rotating articles within a tub at a tumble speed for a first period and rotating articles within the tub at a pre-plaster speed for a second period following the first period. The pre-plaster speed may be greater than the tumble speed. The method may also include measuring movement of the tub during the second period. The method may further include determining whether a set condition is met based on the measured movement, and rotating articles within the tub at a plaster speed in response to determining the set condition is met based on the measured movement.

A control unit comprises a calculation unit, a determination unit, and a motor rotation control unit. The calculation unit calculates the rate of change in water level, which indicates the amount of change in water level per a predetermined period of time, on the basis of the result of sensing by a water level sensor in connection with a water supply stroke. The determination unit determines whether laundry having a waterproof property is contained in a drum or not on the basis of the rate of change in water level during the water supply stroke calculated by the calculation unit. When it is determined that laundry having a waterproof property is contained in the drum, the motor rotation control unit controls the operation of a driving motor such that the drum is rotated at a predetermined number of rotations or less during the dewatering stroke.

A displacement sensor module 1 for mounting on a telescopic-type damper 30, a damper/detector assembly including such a displacement sensor module and a telescopic-type damper, and a household appliance including such a damper/detector assembly is provided. The displacement sensor module 1 includes at least one coil element 4, an electronic detection unit 8 connected to the at least one coil element 4 and adapted to detect an impedance change of the at least one coil element, and a coil housing 2 for receiving and additionally or alternatively a coil support 6 for supporting the at least one coil element 4 and for supporting the electronic detection unit 8. The displacement sensor module 1 is adapted to be mounted on a telescopic-type damper 30, wherein in particular the housing 2 or support 6 is adapted to fit over a portion of a pre-assembled damper 30.

A counterweight of washing machine, a washing machine and a counterweighting method for the washing machine relates to the technical field of washing machines. The counterweight of washing machine includes at least one counterweight cavity and at least one pressured water structure; a water entering port for connecting a water entering pipeline and a water draining port for connecting a water draining pipeline are formed on a wall of each of the at least one counterweight cavity; the at least one water pressurizing structure is disposed in each of the at least one counterweight cavity, and is configured to enable water entering each of the at least one counterweight cavity to be in an air-free sealed cavity. The counterweight of washing machine is mainly configured to reduce vibration and nose of the washing machine in work, and reduce the production and transportation cost of the washing machine.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a tub provided inside the cabinet, a drum rotatably provided inside the tub to accommodate laundry, a motor directly connected to a rotation shaft of the drum, and a controller configured to control the driving of the motor according to any one of a plurality of preset drum driving motions. The controller controls the rotation of the motor to receive a physical force greater than a static frictional force acting between the laundry and the drum from an inner surface of the drum during a process in which the laundry falls to be in contact with a portion of the drum when a first motion of the plurality of drum driving motions is selected.
