Abstract

See full text

A washing machine is provided with an unbalance detecting and control system which can sense an out-of-balance condition in five distinct directions extending within substantially three perpendicular planes. A single switch is utilized in connection with a switch actuator to sense an unbalance condition and to signal a controller for altering an operating condition of the washing machine. Particularly, the switch actuator is biased into engagement with a plunger of the switch and is caused to permit the plunger to extend when an unbalance condition arises.
