Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and
to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates
continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the
washingrotationspeed.If,afterseveralattempts,theloadis
not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin
speed.Iftheloadisexcessivelyunbalanced,thewasher-
