Abstract
A method of operating a laundry treating appliance with a treating chamber for treating a load of laundry the method comprising supplying a rinse to the treating chamber during a rinse cycle, rotating the treating chamber at a tumbling speed, spinning the treating chamber in an extraction cycle to remove excess moisture from the load of laundry, sensing a parameter indicative of a remaining moisture content value in the load of laundry, comparing the remaining moisture content value to a pre-determined remaining moisture content value.
Claims20
A method of extracting liquid from a laundry load during of operation of a wash cycle, the method comprising:
- a) supplying water into a drum;
- b) heating the supplied water to a predetermined temperature to form hot water;
- c) rotating the drum at a tumbling speed in a presence of the hot water;
- d) rotating the drum at a spinning speed in an extraction cycle to remove excess moisture from the load of laundry;
- e) sensing a parameter indicative of a residual moisture content of the laundry load;
- f) comparing the remaining moisture content value to a pre-determined remaining moisture content value;
- and
- g) repeating at least d), e) and f) until the sensed parameter indicates a residual moisture content below a predetermined threshold.

- sensing a parameter indicative of a remaining moisture content value in the load of laundry;
- comparing the remaining moisture content value to a pre-determined remaining moisture content value;
- and
- repeating the extraction cycle until the remaining moisture content value is less than the pre-determined remaining moisture content value.
