SUDS DETECTION AND DISPLAY SYSTEM FOR AN AUTOMATIC WASHING MACHINE

摘要

A clothes washing machine is automatically responsive to indications of high suds level conditions during washing operations to, not only counteract the high level of suds, but effectively educate the user on avoiding the reoccurrence of the conditions. A display, such as an LCD touch screen which is also preferably used to input desired cycle parameters, is integrated into the washing machi ne for both alerting the user to the occurrence of a high suds level condition and conveying information on how to avoid the development of the situation in th e future. In order to avoid prematurely alarming the user, it is preferable to instruct the user only after a predetermined number of high level suds cycles are detected.
