Abstract

A water-conducting household appliance includes a moving component, an electric motor for moving the component, a load apparatus configured to apply a resistance to counter movement of the component as a function of a position of the moving component, and a control apparatus for actuating the electric motor. The control apparatus is configured to detect a drive current drawn which is drawn by the electric motor and is a function of the resistance applied by the load apparatus and to ascertain the position of the moving component as a function of the detected drive current.
