Digital inverter technology is a feature found in some washing machines that uses a variable frequency drive (VFD) or a brushless motor to adjust the speed of the motor as required. This technology uses strong magnets that reduce friction in the motor, allowing the washing machine to run much quieter and smoothly. The in-built sensors in the washing machine analyze the laundry weight and send the information to the machines microprocessor, which then automatically chooses washing programs and adjusts the drum speed accordingly. This precise operation for laundry loads reduces running costs and makes the washing machine more energy-efficient.
Compared to conventional washing machines, inverter washing machines have fewer moving parts, which makes them more durable and requires less maintenance. The variable motor in inverter washing machines is connected to a clutch-driven system that engages the drum, resulting in less friction and improved durability.
Samsung is one of the brands that offer digital inverter technology in their washing machines. Their digital inverter motor works harder and smarter than non-inverter motors, saving energy and cutting down on noise output. Samsung offers an 11-year parts warranty on the motor of their next-generation washing machines.
