A laundry treating appliance and method of operating a laundry treating appliance that includes wetting the laundry load in a drum according to a selected cycle of operation and determining a magnitude of imbalance of the wetted laundry load. A controller of the laundry treating appliance is configured to determine a first extraction speed for rotating the drum based on the magnitude of imbalance.

The present invention relates to a method for controlling a laundry treating apparatus, the method detecting presence or absence of a water-trapping balloon while maintaining a drum speed at a constant speed during a spinning step, thereby to increase the spinning efficiency.

A method for executing a spin program for a cleaning appliance having a rotatable, non-ribbed drum. A first motion signal is supplied which causes a first rotational motion of the drum in a first direction until the drum has reached a first target rotational speed. A second motion signal is supplied that represents a second rotational motion in a second direction until the drum has reached a second target rotational speed greater than the first target rotational speed. Further first and second motion signals are supplied which causes a further first and second rotational motions in the first and second directions until the drum has reached a further first and second target rotational speeds greater than the second and first target rotational speeds, respectively. A third motion signal causes a third rotation of the drum at the predetermined maximum rotational speed in the direction of the preceding rotational motion.

A method of operating a laundry treating appliance with a treating chamber for treating a load of laundry the method comprising supplying a rinse to the treating chamber during a rinse cycle, spinning the treating chamber in an extraction cycle to remove excess moisture from the load of laundry, sensing a parameter indicative of a remaining moisture content value in the load of laundry, comparing the remaining moisture content value to a pre-determined remaining moisture content value.

Disclosed herein is an intelligent washing machine includes: an inner tub in which laundry is placed; a motor transferring a rotational force to the inner tub; an image obtaining unit obtaining an image of the laundry placed in the inner tub after a washing process; and a controller obtaining a laundry classification information reflecting water content percentage information of the laundry from the image of the laundry, learning the laundry classification information to predict a degree of vibration of the inner tub that occurs in a spin-drying process, and varying a revolutions per minute (RPM) of the motor in the spin-drying process according to the predicted degree of vibration of the inner tub. The washing machine may be associated with an artificial intelligence (AI) module, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) (or drone), a robot, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, and a device related to a 5G service.

A washing machine has a rotatable drum for receiving items to be washed and a tub in which the drum is mounted for rotation. A first water sensor is located at or towards the bottom of the tub and is arranged to measure the level of water collected at the bottom of the tub. A second water sensor is located at a part of the tub away from the first water sensor and measures the amount of water being thrown out of the drum as the drum rotates. The drum is rotated in accordance with a difference of the outputs of the sensors.
