Abstract
A laundry washing machine and method control a spin operation using a spin profile determined at least in part based upon a dynamically determined load type of a load being washed in the laundry washing machine. By doing so, the speed(s) and/or amount(s) of time in which a spin operation is performed may be customized for different types of loads, and in many instances, may reduce the amount of noise and/or energy consumption associated with spinning a wash tub during a wash cycle.
