Abstract

The method of the invention encompasses the stages of rotating the basket (50) in a weighing rotation determined by a microprocessor (30), of a top-loading machine,( 10), already containing the load of clothes to be washed, producing signals for a load sensing device (80), assembled on a suspension rod (70) of a containment drum (40) that holds the basket (50), of the maximum and minimum loads to which such suspension rod (70) is subject during each spin of the basket, processing the above- mentioned signals in order to define the average load applied to the suspension rods (70) and with this information, the weight of the load of clothes, and determine, through the microprocessor (30) and as a function of the weight of the load of clothes, the weight of the load of water fed into the containment drum (40).
