  • Patent number: 9055850
    Abstract: A dishwasher includes a control device controlling a dishwashing cycle for cleaning items to be washed, a dishwashing chamber for the items to be washed, an inlet valve for controlled filling the washing chamber with washing liquid, and a circulating pump for circulating the washing liquid in the dishwashing chamber. The inlet valve is opened during a primary filling phase having a duration sufficient to fill the dishwashing chamber with a nominal amount of washing liquid and allowing the circulating pump running to run concentrically at a rated speed. A concentricity monitoring unit performs a concentricity check at the end of the primary filling phase to ascertain whether the circulating pump is running concentrically at the rated speed. The filling sequence is terminated when the circulating pump is running concentrically, whereas the filling sequence is continued when the circulating pump is not running concentrically.

  • Patent number: 9038425
    Abstract: A washing machine includes a laundry drum which is rotatably mounted inside a tub. The tub is connected in a fixed manner within a surrounding housing. The axis of rotation of the laundry drum is variable in height with respect to the tub. Elastic elements are positioned outside the tub to suspend the laundry drum together with a drive unit within the housing in an oscillating manner. The presence of a relatively high water consumption of the washing machine can be avoided and the relative position of the laundry drum with respect to the tub can be adjusted by providing a position-adjusting device, by which the height and/or the angle of the axis of rotation can be adjusted within limits, and which engages with a part that is connected in a fixed manner to the bearing for the drive shaft of the laundry drum.
