摘要： A washing machine is disclosed. The washing machine includes: a driving unit configured to rotate a washing tub; a turbidity sensor configured to sense a turbidity of water inside the washing tub; and one or more processors configured to: identify a weight of laundry contained in the washing tub when a user instruction for operating the washing machine is received; identify a saving mode as an operation mode based on a number of minor contaminations identified being equal to or greater than a predetermined number based on a contamination level identification history; identify a normal mode as the operation mode based on the number of minor contaminations identified being smaller than the predetermined number; initiate a washing process based on the weight in the identified operation mode; identify a level of contamination inside the washing tub based on the turbidity of water sensed by the turbidity sensor when a predetermined time elapses after the washing process is initiated; and identify whether to terminate the washing process based on the identified level of contamination.
