Abstract

The method involves the drum controller determining a temperature loading value for critical positions of the washing solution container by direct temperature measurement with sensors on or in the container and initiating at least one load reducing measure if a temperature threshold is exceeded, e.g. reducing the spin speed or reducing the program running time. AN Independent claim is also included for the following: a washing machine for implementing the method.
