Abstract
A method of operating a laundry treatment appliance including a chamber for receiving a laundry load and a water supply provided within the chamber includes determining a target moisture level of the laundry load; initiating a drying cycle of the laundry load, the drying cycle including a primary drying time; initiating a spray operation for providing moisture into the chamber; determining that a measured moisture level of the laundry load meets a moisture goal based on the target moisture level; and ceasing the spray operation in response to determining that the measured moisture level meets the moisture goal.
Claims16
A method of operating a laundry treatment appliance, the laundry treatment appliance comprising a chamber for receiving a laundry load and a water supply provided within the chamber and a moisture sensor provided within the chamber, the method comprising:
- determining a target moisture level of the laundry load;
- initiating a drying cycle of the laundry load, the drying cycle comprising a primary drying time;
- initiating a spray operation for providing moisture into the chamber;
- determining that a measured moisture level of the laundry load meets a moisture goal based on the target moisture level;
- and
- ceasing the spray operation in response to determining that the measured moisture level meets the moisture goal.
A laundry treatment appliance comprising:
- a cabinet;
- a drum rotatably mounted within the cabinet, the drum defining a chamber to selectively receive a laundry load;
- a moisture sensor provided within the chamber to sense a moisture level of the laundry load;
- a moisture supply in fluid communication with the chamber to selectively providing moisture into the chamber;
- and
- a controller operably connected with the moisture sensor and the moisture supply, the controller being configured for:
- determining a target moisture level of the laundry load;
- initiating a drying cycle of the laundry load, the drying cycle comprising a primary drying time;
- initiating a spray operation for providing moisture into the chamber;
- determining that a measured moisture level of the laundry load meets a moisture goal based on the target moisture level;
- and
- ceasing the spray operation in response to determining that the measured moisture level meets the moisture goal.
