A washing machine and a method of controlling a washing machine are provided. The washing machine may include a drum in which laundry is provided and is rotated. The drum may operate at a first speed such that part of the laundry tumbles within the drum and another part of the laundry adheres to the drum. An unbalance amount or a first speed operation time of the drum, which is detected when the drum operates at the first speed, may be determined. When an abnormality occurs, rotation of the drum may stop or decelerate. Accordingly, at the time of a dehydration cycle, stability of the washing machine and laundry balancing can be ensured.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a washing machine and a method of controlling the washing machine. According to the washing machine and the method of controlling the washing machine in accordance with the present invention, the drum is operated at a first speed so that part of laundry tumbles within the drum and another part of the laundry adheres to the drum. When a unbalance amount of the drum operating at the first speed is a first specific value or less, increasing the speed of the drum to a second speed so that the laundry adheres to the drum. When a unbalance amount of the drum detected during increasing to the second speed is a second specific value or more, decelerating the rotation of the drum. Accordingly, at the time of a dehydration cycle, stability of the washing machine and laundry balancing can be ensured.
