Estimating the term…
A washing machine appliance includes a wash basket that is rotatably mounted within a wash tub and that defines a wash chamber for receiving a load of clothes. A water supply adds water to the wash tub during a fill cycle and a camera assembly is used to monitor the water level. Specifically, the camera assembly obtains one or more images of the wash chamber during and/or after a fill cycle and a controller analyzes the images using a machine learning image recognition process to determine when the water within the wash tub has reached a predetermined water level, e.g., optimized based on load size or other load parameters. If the water in the wash tub is below or above the predetermined water level, the controller may implement responsive action, e.g., by adjusting at least one operating parameter of the washing machine appliance.
