[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A method of detecting an imbalance condition in a rotating washing machine tub, the method comprising:receiving an indication of the actual tub rotation speed;comparing the actual tub rotation speed to a predetermined desired rotation speed to calculate a speed error;determining maximum and minimum speed errors;calculating the difference between the maximum and minimum speed error; anddetecting a tub imbalance condition based on the calculated difference.
