Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a laundry washing machine, comprising a rotatable drum (3), a suspension arrangement (29, 31) carrying the drum in relation to a base structure (7) located under the washing machine on which the washing machine rests, and a load sensing device (9), configured to sense the load of the drum (3). A first structural element (11) extends in a first plane and is connected to either of the drum and the suspension arrangement, and a second structural element (13) extends in a second plane, parallel with the first plane, and is connected to the other of the drum and the suspension arrangement. The load sensing device is attached to the second structural element on a surface thereof facing away from the first structural element and is connected to the first structural element. This allows for a compact load sensing arrangement.

Abstract: A laundry processing machine (10) comprising a rotatable dmm (30); a load sensing arrangement (46) configured to detect an amount of laundry (48) in the drum (36) and, based on a detected amount of laundry (48), generate a load signal; and a controller (18) configured to initiate a laundry processing program, wherein the controller (18) is configured to: receive a capacity mode signal indicating a temporary maximum load; and, based on the load signal indicating a load equal to or lower than the temporary maximum load allowing the laundry processing program to start. The controller (18) can also based on the load signal set a resource threshold (R1, R2, R3; R4) for starting a processing program and receive a signal indicating an amount of resources provided by the user of the machine and based on the resource signal indicate that a sufficient amount of resources have been provided allowing the laundry processing program to start. The resources are e.g. detergent, softener, or means of payment.

Abstract: A lift comprises a first lift cage, a second lift cage and a counterweight, wherein the counterweight, the first lift cage and the second lift cage are coupled together by way of a support means for lifting and holding, wherein the counterweight, the first lift cage and the second lift cage are additionally coupled together by way of a compensation means and wherein the compensation means runs over at least one deflecting roller. The lift further comprises a brake device for application to the deflecting roller of dissipative braking torque which counteracts the rotation thereof.
