    摘要: A washing machine appliance may include a tub, a basket, a valve, a spout, a dispenser, a motor, and a controller. The basket may be rotatably mounted and define a chamber for receipt of articles for washing. The valve may be disposed upstream from the tub. The spout may be directed at the tub downstream from the valve. The dispenser may be upstream from the tub for dispensing detergent into the tub. The motor may be in mechanical communication with the basket. The controller may be configured for controlling the washing machine appliance. The controller may be configured to initiate an oversuds-sensitive operation. The oversuds-sensitive operation may include detecting one or more resultant conditions from one or more previous wash cycles of the washing machine appliance, determining an adjusted operating parameter based on the detected resultant conditions, and directing detergent dispensing according to the adjusted operating parameter.

    摘要: A method of operating a washing machine appliance includes checking for a material in a container of the household appliance. When the material is detected, the method may include recording a presence of the container in response to detecting the material in the container and deactivating a status indicator in response to detecting the material in the container. When the material is not detected, the method may include checking for the container in response to detecting the absence of the material. When the container is not detected, the method may include disabling a status indicator in response to detecting the absence of the container. When the container is detected, the method may include activating a status indicator in response to detecting the presence of the container and in response to detecting the absence of the material.
