A drum washing machine, and a control method and a control apparatus for same are provided. The control method for the drum washing machine comprises the following steps: step S101, acquiring an average starting power of a drum in a starting process of the drum; step S102, acquiring a load range to which a current load of the drum belongs according to the average starting power; and step S103, setting a weighing protection velocity fluctuation threshold according to the load range to which the current load of the drum belongs. A value of a current load is obtained by using a correspondence between load with different weights and average starting powers, and a weighing protection velocity fluctuation threshold is set according to the value of the current load so as to avoid the phenomena of collision with the drum and non-dehydration in a case of only one piece of clothing. The method completes computation in a starting stage, and can be implemented by only few modifications on the basis of the conventional solution without the need to add extra control logic, thereby being convenient and practical, and lowering the upgrade cost of a whole product.
