Abstract
The invention concerns a method for operating a front-loading washing machine with a washing aggregate comprising of a tub holding a rotatably-mounted drum suspended in the machine housing so as to be able to oscillate with a midaxis descending from front to back and equipped with an imbalance sensor that changes the rotation of the drum by means of a control program when an imbalance occurs in the spin cycle. In many cases of operation involving small amounts of sensitive types laundry an improved spin result can be achieved, by attending to the preset optimum filling amounts, taking into account the weight and absorbency, and by disabling the imbalance sensor and running the spin cycle at maximum speed.
