- This step is only possible with a sufficiently high level of washing liquid.
- the wash 109 has absorbed most of the water and will have the lowest pressures.
- a larger load of the laundry 109 leads to greater pressure values, since the water passes to a large extent on the laundry 109 due to the existing in the laundry drum 107 laundry wall.
- the detection of the pressure difference between the first pressure value and the second pressure value enables an additional safety or control mode in determining the laundry load in the laundry drum 107 as a function of the detected duration of the pumped over period.
