Front Load Washer - Dynamic Balancing Technology dBT™

Modern Front Load washers feature Dynamic Balancing Technology dBT™. This article explains the design and benefit of this technology.

Understanding the Dynamic Balancing Technology dBT™ Feature on a Front Load Washer

Dynamic Balancing Technology dBT™ keeps wash loads in harmony, which saves time on the cycle and provides a quiet, stable, consistent wash. dBT™ is a patented technology that senses when the wash load is balanced to spin at high speeds and saves time by getting it right the first time in real-time versus trial and error.

dBT is not only about balancing. It also includes a new heavy-duty drive system that minimizes vibration and reduces wear and tear on the machine. The shaft is basically what holds all the weight on the washing machine. dBT technology employs sensors to understand in real time when the laundry load is in balance before it spins up. Before the high spin, dBT works to sense when we are "in balance", then spins up instead of relying on trial and error as other washers do. Thus, avoiding longer cycle times with less opportunities for excess noise and vibration.
