Abstract: A washing machine, and a method of controlling the same, the washing machine including a tub; a drum in the tub; a motor configured to rotate the drum; a vibration sensor configured to detect vibration of the tub as the drum is rotated during a dehydrating course, and to produce a corresponding vibration value; and a controller configured to stop the motor to stop the dehydrating course based on the vibration value produced by the vibration sensor indicating that vibration of the tub exceeds an acceptable standard of vibration during the dehydrating course, and thereafter restart the dehydrating course, and change the acceptable standard of vibration based on a number of times of restarting the dehydrating course in a plurality of laundry cycles.

Abstract: A washing machine including a drum, a driving circuit configured to apply a driving current to a motor which rotates the drum, a current sensor configured to detect the driving current, and a controller configured to perform a weight detection process and a material detection process based on a selection of a laundry course, perform a current detection process in which a value of the driving current is detected while the drum is being rotated based on a type of material of the laundry determined in the material detection process, and determine a process condition to be applied to the laundry course identified by the selection based on the value of the driving current detected in the current detection process and a value of weight of the laundry determined in the weight detection process.

Abstract: A washing machine includes a drum, a drum motor coupled to the drum; a driving circuit and a processor. The driving circuit is configured to supply a driving current to the drum motor so that the drum motor rotates. The processor is configured to control the driving circuit to accelerate the drum motor from the first rotational speed to a second rotational speed based on a gradient of the fluctuating magnitude of the driving current supplied to the drum motor while controlling the driving circuit to rotate the drum motor at a first rotational speed.
