Domestic washing machine with rotary drum - allowing rotation of drum after reaching a min water level during filling

Domestic washing machine, in which the drum may be rotated during filling, in which case more water enters than if the drum were stationary, comprises a pressure-sensitive switch assembly for sensing water level in the drum, a water inlet valve controlled by the switch assembly, and a motor dor driving the drum. The switch assembly comprises two parallel-connected switches, responsive to different pressures, both switches in one position moving the inlet valve in its open position. The low pressure-sensitive switch switches on the motor in its other position into which it moves on reaching min. water level; the high pressure-sensitive switch, when in its second position which it reaches at max. water level, together with the first switch in its second position moves the valve into the closed position.
