Abstract: A washing machine including a rotary drum that is rotatable, and into which laundry is loadable; a motor configured to rotate the rotary drum; and a controller configured to perform startup control to initiate rotation of the rotary drum, the startup control including a first process for controlling the motor so that torque for rotating the rotary drum in a first rotation direction is applied to the rotary drum; and a second process for controlling the motor so that, after the first process is initiated, and when a rotational acceleration of the rotary drum is less than or equal to a first predefined threshold before a rotation velocity of the rotary drum reaches a first rotation velocity, torque for rotating the rotary drum in reverse is applied to the rotary drum.
