Abstract
A washer-dehydrator comprising a casing, a rotating tub disposed in the casing and resiliently adapted to hold an object of dehydration therein, and a weight detector including a stationary electrode and movable electrode which delivers an output signal indicative of a change of electrostatic capacity corresponding to a change of the weight load of the rotating tub. The rotation of the tub is controlled in accordance with the output signal from the weight detector, thereby regulating the rotation of the rotating tub.
