Abstract

See full text

In an appliance operable in any of a number of different cycles, selectable by a user, a default control selects a default cycle of operation of the appliance in an absence of a current user selection. The control counts the number of times each cycle is executed by the appliance and compares the relative magnitudes of the cycle counts to identify the cycle that currently is the 'favorite'. In the preferred embodiment, default cycles and options in a dishwasher are selected based upon prior patterns of usage.
