Abstract
A method of operating a washing machine appliance includes initiating a spin cycle by operating the motor to spin the wash basket to a first speed, performing a first acceleration by operating the motor to accelerate the wash basket from the first speed to a second speed, obtaining a first average motor power of the motor while performing the first acceleration, decelerating the wash basket to the first speed, performing a second acceleration by operating the motor to accelerate the wash basket from the first speed to the second speed, obtaining a second average motor power of the motor while performing the second acceleration, and stopping the spin cycle in response to determining that a reduction in a remaining moisture content exceeds a target reduction in the remaining moisture content based at least in part on the first average motor power and the second average motor power.
