<p>A system and method are provided for detecting and interrupting an out-of-balance (OOB) condition in a washing machine (10). The system includes pneumatic generating units (501, 502) for generating a predetermined fluidic pressure in response to excursions of a tub (34) of the washing machine during a spin cycle; an actuator (100) which is fluidly coupled to such generating units for providing an actuating position corresponding to the OOB condition; and a switch responsive to the actuator in its actuating position to deenergize a motor (36) which spins the basket (18) for holding the articles to be cleansed and thereby interrupt the OOB condition.</p> |
