Abstract
A method for controlling a spinning cycle of a washing machine, the method includes accelerating a drum up to a first speed at which the laundry items essentially lie firmly against the wall of the drum, detecting a movement of the detergent solution tub in at least one direction for at least one predetermined period during the rotation of the drum at a speed that is equal to or greater than the first speed, determining an amplitude of the movement for the recorded direction, determining further movement amplitudes for known or detected speeds during the predetermined period, determining a change in the movement amplitude over the speed, and controlling the spinning cycle as a function of the change of the movement amplitude.
