4.12.1 Detection of Inner Basket Float Off Point – Basket Check
During fill the inner basket will rotate to ensure that the clothes are evenly saturated with water.
When the chosen water level is reached, and before the agitate cycle is started, the machine will
carry out inner basket float checks (basket check). The inner basket will stop and commence a
number of small agitate type actions. During this action the machine determines if the inner basket
has floated if it has, the machine determines the correct water level has been reached. If the inner
basket has not floated, the machine will continue filling and check again later. The water level at
which the inner basket floats is not necessarily the same as the final water level.
4.12.2 Detection of Inner Basket Re-Engagement – Basket Check
After the water has drained, the inner basket will sink down and re-engage onto the drive spline.
To ensure the inner basket has re-engaged correctly, the machine will carry out a basket re-
engage test sequence (basket check). Basket check consists of a series of short agitate type
actions before the spin cycle starts. A sound may be heard as the inner basket re-engages.
