Washing machine and method for operation of a washing machine

Abstract

The washing machine (1) is designed to carry out at least one washing program, to define a duration of an electrical power interruption (S2) and, after the electrical power interruption, to adapt a washing program, which was running during the electrical power interruption, to the duration of the electrical power interruption (S6) and to continue it (S7). The method is used for operation of a washing machine (1), with a duration of an electrical power interruption (S2) being defined, and with a washing program which was running during the electrical power interruption being matched (S6) to the duration of the electrical power interruption after the electrical power interruption, and being continued (S7).

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a laundry treatment machine designed to execute at least one laundry treatment program. The present invention also relates to a method for operating a laundry machine when a power interruption occurs. Background technique

[0002] In known laundry dryers (both washer-dryers and laundry dryers) it is decided when the heating should be switched off by measuring temperature, energy or time in order to maintain the desired residual humidity of the laundry at the end of the drying program. Power interruptions cause varying degrees of cooling of the laundry and treatment medium (air, detergent, etc.) depending on the length of time the process is interrupted. Depending on the degree of cooling, once the program sequence is restarted, slightly less or significantly more energy and time than originally precalculated are required. Temperature changes are typically only slightly affected by short interruptions. However, during...
