Abstract: A system for detecting the operative parameters of a household appliance, such as a washing machine or dryer, provided with a relatively mobile component with respect to a load-bearing frame (tank or basket), including a pressure switch including in turn a rigid casing accommodating a deformable membrane sensitive to hydraulic pressure, a ferromagnetic material core engaged to the membrane and a winding fixed to the casing and operatively coupled with the core to form a variable inductance electrical inductor; in which the pressure switch is coupled to the relatively mobile member to follow its movements; and in which said variable inductance electrical inductor is operatively associated to a ferromagnetic material bracket integrally carried by the load-bearing body and arranged outside the pressure switch.
