ABSTRACT:
An improved clothes washing machine and method of washing clothes for increasing the unbalance capacity of the machine. The machine includes a tub for containing water, a clothes receiving basket in the tub, the basket having perforations arranged in a pattern from the top to the bottom of the side wall of the basket, a pump for removing water from the tub, and a mechanism for rotatively accelerating the basket from zero to over 220 revolutions per minute. The unbalance capacity improvement is achieved by retaining between 20 and 40% of the initial water in the machine as measured under water only load conditions until 220 revolutions per minute is reached, pumping water continuously from between the tub and basket during such basket acceleration and discharging it from the machine, and restricting the flow of water from the basket to the tub such that the level of water between the tub and basket is lower than the level of water in the basket during such acceleration.
