A washing machine includes a case; a tub; a drum; a vibration sensor provided in the tub and configured to output a factor of a current vibration result for sensing a vibration value of the tub; a motor configured to drive the drum to process laundry; a motor control module configured to control a drum RPM to reflect a request RPM by controlling a current of the motor and output a current vibration inducing factor; an AI module configured to receive inputs of the current vibration result factor and the vibration inducing factor and output a compensating variable for proactively deal with a future vibration result that is expected based on a current laundry distribution state, in a dry-spin cycle; and a processor configured to perform a dry-spin cycle through centrifugal power of the drum by compensating the request RPM by reflecting the compensating variable in a vibration expectation section.

Washing machine appliances and methods of operating the same are provided. Such methods may include, and/or appliances may be configured for, performing a wash operation on laundry articles received in the wash chamber of the wash basket. After the wash operation, it may be determined that the load of articles is still wet, e.g., that a remaining moisture content of the laundry articles is above a threshold. Based on and in response to determining that the load is still wet, a spin cycle is performed before a beginning of a subsequent wash operation.

A drum washing machine, and a control method and a control apparatus for same are provided. The control method for the drum washing machine comprises the following steps: acquiring an average starting power of a drum in a starting process of the drum; acquiring a load range to which a current load of the drum belongs according to the average starting power; and setting a weighing protection velocity fluctuation threshold according to the load range to which the current load of the drum belongs. A value of the current load is obtained by using a correspondence between load with different weights and average starting powers. A weighing protection velocity fluctuation threshold is set according to the value of the current load to avoid the collision with the drum and non-dehydration in case of only one piece of clothing.

A washing machine includes a machine housing, a tub that is suspended on a plurality of support arms in the machine housing, and a washing drum that is rotatably mounted in the tub, at least one of the support arms being equipped with a force sensor, which generates a force measurement signal that is representative of the force acting upon the respective support arm. Moreover, the washing machine is equipped with a level sensor, which generates a level signal that is representative of the water level in the washing drum, and an electronic control unit that processes the force measurement signal and the level signal, and which is configured to control the sequence of a washing program of the washing machine in dependence on the force measurement signal and the level signal.

A drainage-dehydration control method of a multi-drum washing machine, the washing machine at least comprising a first washing drum and a second washing drum; the method comprising: before the first washing drum executing drainage or dehydration procedure, judging whether the second washing drum is draining or dehydrating. If yes, the first washing drum continuing executing a washing procedure or a rinse procedure, or suspending executing the drainage or dehydration procedure until the second washing drum finishes dehydration; if no, the first washing drum starting drainage and dehydration. By the above method, the first washing drum and the second washing drum cannot execute the drainage-dehydration procedure at the same time; and during the waiting process of one washing drum, another washing drum continues a washing procedure or a rinse procedure, so as to make the rational use of waiting time and improve the efficiency of washing clothing.

A laundry washing machine and method control a spin operation using a spin profile determined at least in part based upon a dynamically determined load type of a load being washed in the laundry washing machine. By doing so, the speed(s) and/or amount(s) of time in which a spin operation is performed may be customized for different types of loads, and in many instances, may reduce the amount of noise and/or energy consumption associated with spinning a wash tub during a wash cycle.
