Wash load sensor

High end and larger capacity washing machines usually have a wash load sensor. The sensor can modify and reprogram the wash cycle and even balance the washing machine in case there is an overload on a particular side, which may be because of entangled fabrics. In the absence of a wash load sensor, you might notice that the machine sometimes jumps or hops sometimes as a result of a load imbalance. If your wash load is large, chances are that clothes might get entangled and create imbalance.
