    摘要: A method for operating a laundry washing machine (100; 300) having a controllable dosing device (120; 191) suitable to supply water from an external water supply line (E) into a container (110; 172) and a metering device (125; 192) arranged between the external water supply line (E) and the container (110; 172) for determining the amount of water flowing through the dosing device (120; 191). The method measures the surplus water flowing through the dosing device (120; 191) after deactivation of the latter in a first water conveying step for conveying a first amount of water from the external water supply line (E) into the container (110; 172) and controls the supply of water in a further water conveying step taking in account the surplus water previously measured.

The washing and/or drying appliance (100) has a circuit system (200) comprising: an electric load (205) adapted to be energized by electrical coupling between first (TL) and second (TN) supply terminals of an electric power supply; first (SWL) and second (SWN2) switching elements operable between respective closed/opened states for coupling/decoupling the first (TL) and second (TN) power supply terminals to/from first (T1) and second (T2,205) load terminals of the electric load (205); a control unit (215) for operating the first (SWL) and second (SWN1,SWN2) switching elements, and a conditioning arrangement (D1,2201,R1A-R1C). The conditioning arrangement (D1,2201,R1A-R1C) has a unidirectional signal flow element (D1) coupled between the first supply terminal (TL) for receiving a supply signal (VSUPPLY) and the second load terminal (T2,205), and an impedance arrangement (220I,RIA-RIC) coupled between the first load terminal (T1) and the control unit (215). With the first (SWL) and second (SWN2) switching elements in the opened-states the first supply terminal (TL), the unidirectional signal flow element (Di), the electric load (205) and the impedance arrangement (2201,R1A-R1C) define a conductive path providing a check signal (S1) to the control unit (215), the control unit (215) being configured for determining a fault in the circuit system (200) based on the check signal (S1).

    摘要: A laundry appliance having a treatment chamber and a control unit configured to perform a first set of phases of a selected treatment cycle using a dose of a treatment agent, and a treatment agent delivering device. The control unit is further configured to: receive a first command that enables the delivering device and thereupon: calculate a first amount of treatment agent, and cause the delivering device to deliver the dose to the laundry treatment chamber; and, upon receiving a second command for an intensive treatment mode: cause the laundry appliance to perform a second set of phases in addition to said first set of phases, and calculate a second amount of treatment agent when both the first and second commands are received, so that said dose comprises said first amount of treatment agent plus said second amount of treatment agent.
