A modern automated washing machine works by using sensors that detect the amount of clothing and then adjust the cycle time, water levels, and temperature accordingly. The cycles usually include washing, rinsing, spinning, and, finally, an optional drying step. In some cases, the user can select different settings for certain kinds of laundry, such as heavy or light soiling levels, spin speed, temperature, and water levels. The sensors in an automated washing machine also help to protect it from potential overloading damage by limiting how much weight can go inside at one time.
