A washing machine drawer () in a washing machine () has a drawer body () with several chambers including chambers () for filling in detergents or additives for a washing process, sensor means () in the receptacle for analyzing water transported to the sensor means and a receptacle communication module () for a data connection to the outside. A control device () of the washing machine is communicating with the receptacle communication module () to receive data about analysis results from the sensors for adapting a washing process. The drawer () may be exchangeable to provide the washing machine with more and up to date features. The drawer () may also have a receptacle control () provided with a powerful controller to overtake some functions of the washing machine () besides controlling the sensor means.

Washing machine receptacle, washing machine and method for operating a washing machine

A washing machine has a drum, a sump underneath the drum, a water circulation including an extractible drawer for introducing detergent or additives, the water circulation being in fluid connection to detecting means for detecting microfibers or contamination in the water and a circulation pump and pipes for circulating water. A method for its operation comprises the steps of branching off an amount of water circulating in the circulation and transporting it to the detecting means for being analyzed and analyzing the water in the detecting means. Depending on the result of this analysis, a filtering process with filtering means for filtering out the microfibers from the water is activated. The microfibers that have been filtered out can be collected and then removed easily from the washing machine.
