Abstract
Disclosed is a method for controlling a spin-drying cycle of a laundry treatment machine. The method includes performing a plurality of spin-drying operations by rotating a drum above an adjusted rotational speed range configured to adjust disposition of balls within a ball balancer so as to correspond to a changed amount of eccentricity, and adjusting the disposition of the balls within the ball balancer by rotating the drum within the adjusted rotational speed range, between the respective spin-drying operations.
Claims11
A method for controlling a spin-drying cycle of a laundry treatment machine, the method comprising:
- performing a plurality of spin-drying operations by rotating a drum above an adjusted rotational speed range configured to adjust disposition of balls within a ball balancer so as to correspond to a change in an amount of eccentricity;
- and
- adjusting the disposition of the balls within the ball balancer by rotating the drum within the adjusted rotational speed range, between the respective spin-drying operations,
- wherein the adjusted rotational speed range is lower than an RPM range of a resonance point of a cabinet, and
- wherein the plurality of spin-drying operations comprise:
- a first spin-drying operation including a section at which the drum rotates at a first rotational speed above the resonance point of the cabinet;
- a second spin-drying operation including a section at which the drum rotates at a second rotational speed higher than a first rotational speed;
- and
- a third spin-drying operation rotating the drum at a third rotational speed, higher than or equal to the second rotational speed, for a longer time than in the second spin-drying operation,
- wherein the disposition of the balls with the ball balancer is adjusted by rotating the drum within the adjusted rotational speed range, between the second spin-drying operation and the third spin-drying operation.
