    Abstract: A washing machine has a drum-receiving container with a round drum therein, wherein the inner shape of the drum-receiving container is not round cylindrical. The drum accordingly has a radial distance along the circumferential direction thereof from the drum-receiving container, wherein the latter is configured such that this distance continuously varies in places and/or has no discontinuity. The distance is smaller in the uppermost region of the drum than at the mid-vertical height of the drum, and the distance is at its greatest in a lower region of the drum between a lowermost point of drum and one third of the vertical height of the drum. At the lowermost region, a breakaway edge may be formed below the drum to enable removal of externally adhering water.

    Abstract: A laundry washing machine and method utilize a fluid property sensor to sense a fluid property of a fluid during a wash cycle to sense the level of detergent remaining in a load and control a rinse operation performed thereafter based upon the sensed fluid property. In some instances, the fluid property may be sensed while the load is being spun at a rate sufficient to cause fluid to be released from the load such that the sensed fluid property is based at least in part on fluid that was previously absorbed into the load. In addition, in some instances, the fluid property may be sensed during a spin phase of a wash cycle to selectively cause a wash cycle to selectively revert to an additional rinse phase when required, or otherwise proceed directly to the remainder of the spin phase to complete the wash cycle.

    Abstract: A washing machine appliance and a method of detecting and mitigating out-of-balance conditions includes obtaining a subwasher load weight after adding water to the wash tub and obtaining a displacement threshold based at least in part on the subwasher load weight. The wash basket is spun at a first, low speed and the displacement amplitude of the wash tub is measured using a measurement device, such as an accelerometer and gyroscope. The measured displacement amplitude is then compared to the displacement threshold and if the displacement amplitude exceeds the displacement threshold, an agitation element is rotated to agitate or redistribute the load of articles.
