I remember reading something about 'sensing' years ago with Fisher & Paykel. From what I understand the electronics detect/analyse the 'slip' (or drag as the case may be) of the clothes through the water. So Toggles is correct. Front load machines at their most basic use absorbancy in combination with a pressure switch. So they fill until the switch registers 'enough' and start to tumble. As the load absorbs more, the switch triggers again as the water level drops. More water is added, the switch triggers 'enough'...so on until it doesn't happen any more. Voila. |
