    ein elastisches Element (92), das zwischen dem Ventileinsatz (91) und dem Wasserführungskanal (10) eingeklemmt ist, um die Bewegung des Ventileinsatzes (91) zu begrenzen und eine Kraft bereitzustellen, damit der Ventileinsatz (91) in die Ausgangsposition zurückgesetzt wird;
    wobei, nachdem sich die innere Trommel (1) mit einer eingestellten Geschwindigkeit dreht, der Ventileinsatz (91) des Zentrifugalventils (9) durch die Zentrifugalkraft angetrieben wird und sich entlang einer Innenwand des geneigten Teils des Wasserführungskanals (10) bewegt, um den Wasserführungskanal (10) entsprechend zu öffnen.
  2. Waschmaschine nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass
    sich der Wasserführungskanal (10) entlang einer Seitenwand der inneren Trommel (103) erstreckt;
    eine von der Achse der inneren Trommel (1) abgewandte Innenwand des Wasserführungskanals (10) eine geneigte Fläche ist;
