Laundry treating appliance with over-sudsing condition compensation measures
First Claim
1. A method for setting a treating chemistry dosage in a laundry treating appliance having a treating chemistry dispenser that dispenses a predetermined dosage of treating chemistry according to a selected cycle of operation, the method comprising:
- maintaining an aggregate total of over-sudsing conditions occurring over multiple implementations of the selected cycle of operation; and
adjusting the predetermined dosage for the selected cycle of operation when the aggregate total is greater-than-or-equal-to a predetermined threshold.

Abstract
A method of automatically initiating a procedure to adjust dosing of laundry treating chemistry after satisfying a threshold of determined over-sudsing conditions in a laundry treating appliance during a cycle of operation. The number of over-sudsing condition is aggregate. Once the aggregate total satisfies a predetermined threshold, a predetermined dosage of laundry treating chemistry is adjusted. The over-sudsing aggregate total can also be reset in the event of an operational event such as a replenishment of a bulk treating chemistry, input by a user of a default value, or passing of a temporal reference, wherein the predetermined dosage is reset to a default value.

13. A method of mitigating a possible over-sudsing condition in a laundry treating appliance having a single-dose treating chemistry dispenser that dispenses treating chemistry during implementation of a selected cycle of operation, the method comprising:
-
maintaining an aggregate total of over-sudsing conditions occurring over multiple implementations of the selected cycle of operation; supplying treating chemistry from the single-dose dispenser and water to the laundry treating appliance to form a wash liquid comprising a mixture of water and treating chemistry; in response to the aggregate total being greater-than-or-equal to a predetermined threshold, altering the selected cycle of operation by at least one of; supplying additional water to the laundry treating appliance to form a diluted wash liquid; draining wash liquid from the laundry treating appliance followed by the addition of more water;
ordispensing less than all of the single dose of treating chemistry from the dispenser. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
