2 Function
2.1 No-Load Detection
Only in residual moisture programs.
Senses no load or very dry laundry.
Residual moisture sensor B3/1 detects the electrical resistance of the
laundry load; if this resistance is very high, it means that the laundry is dry
or that there is no load in the drum. If this is the case, then the drying
cycle will stop within 30 seconds of starting and the message Check load
will be displayed.
2.2 Residual Moisture Measurement
Residual moisture is calculated based on the electrical resistance of the
damp laundry, which is measured by a sensor between a drum rib and the
drum casing.
Note: Only one rib is used for this measurement.
The value of this electrical resistance depends on the type of laundry, the
degree of moisture, the laundry load (weight) and the drum's rotating angle
(centrifugal force, rib contact).
