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.

Washing machine and method for controlling the same

A washing machine and a method for controlling thereof. A washing machine including a spin basket, the washing machine including a driving unit configured to rotate the spin basket, a sensor configured to detect an operation of the washing machine, a display configured to display information, and a processor configured to, based on a user command for managing the washing machine being received, perform a cleaning course for cleaning the spin basket, obtain diagnosis information regarding the washing machine using the sensor while the cleaning course is performed, and display the obtained diagnosis information on the display. The processor is configured to perform the cleaning course by controlling the driving unit to supply wash water to the spin basket and rotate the spin basket filled with the wash water.

Washing machine and controlling method thereof

Disclosed herein is a washing machine capable of identifying whether laundry of an inner tub includes waterproof clothing. The washing machine includes a cabinet provided with an opening at an upper portion thereof, an outer tub provided in the cabinet, an inner tub provided in the outer tub, a motor configured to rotate the inner tub, a camera configured to capture an image of an inside of the inner tub, and a controller configured to control the motor to increase a rotational speed of the inner tub to a first rotational speed during spinning. The controller is configured to control the motor to set the rotational speed of the inner tub to a second rotational speed, which is less than the first rotational speed, based on the image of the inside of the inner tub captured by the camera during the spinning.

Washing machine and control method thereof

A controlling method for a dryer is provided. The controlling method includes the steps of rotating a drum in a first direction and a second direction which is an opposite direction to the first direction by a motor, measuring the load of the motor and identifying the weight of drying materials based on the lower motor load among the load of the motor measured during rotation in the first direction and the load of the motor measured during rotation in the second direction.
