L'invention concerne un appareil ménager (10) électronique, comme par exemple un appareil de lavage du linge qui comporte un groupe (18, 24, 26, 30, 34) destiné à mettre en œuvre un programme prédéfini de lavage de l'appareil ménager (10), un système de capteurs (40a… i) destiné à détecter des valeurs de mesure d'un paramètre de fonctionnement de l'appareil ménager (10) et un équipement de commande (36) destiné à commander le groupe (18, 24, 26, 30, 34) en fonction des valeurs de mesure détectées par le système de capteurs (40a… i). Pour une détermination efficace des valeurs de paramètres de fonctionnement de l'appareil ménager (10), le système de capteurs (40a… i) comporte au moins un capteur d'ondes de surface (50) passif interrogeable sans fil et l'équipement de commande (36) est pourvu d'un émetteur-récepteur (42) pour la communication sans fil avec le ou les capteurs d'ondes de surface (50) du système de capteurs (40a… i).
