Abstract
A method is for a drain cycle calibration in a washing machine appliance. The method includes receiving an activation signal of a calibration cycle, and performing the calibration cycle in response to the activation signal. The calibration cycle includes initializing a drain sequence of the washing machine appliance, measuring a flow rate of water through a drain hose during the drain sequence, identifying siphoning pull through the drain hose, measuring a volume of water backflowing from the drain hose, and updating operational parameters of the washing machine appliance.
