LAUNDRY TREATING APPLIANCE WITH OVER-SUDSING CONDITION COMPENSATION MEASURES
First Claim
1. A method of operating a laundry treating appliance having a treating chamber for receiving laundry for treatment according to an automatic cycle of operation, the method comprising:
- executing the automatic cycle of operation;
determining an over-sudsing condition during the execution of the automatic cycle of operation;
increasing a cumulative total of determined over-sudsing conditions in a controller of the laundry treating appliance in response to the determining of an over-sudsing condition; and
adjusting a predetermined dosage of a treating chemistry when the cumulative total satisfies 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. When an over-sudsing condition is detected, an over-sudsing counter is initialized, and the data is stored in the memory of a laundry treating appliance as an aggregate total. Once a predetermined threshold is satisfied, a predetermined dosage of laundry treating chemistry is reduced and the over-sudsing counter is reset. The over-sudsing counter 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.
