Abstract
A household appliance, particularly a household dishwasher, washing machine, clothes dryer, or the like, includes an air drying device and/or fluid heating device, connected to an electrical energy supply network. At least one control/monitoring unit is provided to detect any deviation of an actual value of at least one characteristic of the electrical energy supply network from a target value and to generate at least one control signal for setting an electrical component of the member in response to a detected deviation of the actual value.

A household appliance, comprising
- at least one member selected from the group consisting of an air drying device and a fluid heating device, said member being connected to an electrical energy supply network;
- and
- at least one control/monitoring unit configured to detect any deviation of an actual value of at least one characteristic of the electrical energy supply network from a target value and to generate at least one control signal for setting an electrical component of the member in response to a detected deviation of the actual value.
A method for controlling a household appliance having a member selected from the group consisting of an air drying device and a fluid heating device, comprising the steps of:
- connecting the member to an electrical energy supply network;
- determining any deviation of an actual value of at least one characteristic of the electrical energy supply network from a target value;
- and
- generating a control signal in response to the deviation for setting an electrical component of the member.
