Abstract

A method of operating a washing machine appliance includes calculating a plaster speed of a load of articles in a basket, rotating the basket, and accelerating the basket to a first speed less than the calculated plaster speed and greater than zero during an initial ramp period. The method also includes accelerating the basket from the first speed to a second speed greater than the first speed. The second speed is within a predetermined margin of the calculated plaster speed. The method further includes monitoring a balance condition and accelerating the basket to full plaster speed when the monitored balance condition is within a predetermined tolerance range.
