Abstract
An automatic liquid level control is provided for an automatic washing machine which measures the volume of liquid required to be added to the tub to increase the liquid level in the tub by a predetermined increment. The measured amount is compared to a reference amount corresponding to an empty tub. When the measured amount equals the reference amount, the clothes in the washer will be covered and the control terminates introduction of the liquid into the tub and continues with the remainder of the washing cycle.
