Abstract
A drum washing machine, including: a driving part, capable of operating in a uniaxial driving form and a biaxial driving form; a heater configured to heat water stored in the outer drum for washing; and a control part which at least performs washing operation of a first washing mode and a second washing mode. In a washing process of the first washing mode, the control part enables the driving part to operate in the uniaxial driving form and also enables the heater to operate. Further, in a washing process of the second washing mode, the control part enables the driving part to operate in the biaxial driving form and also enables the heater to operate in such a manner that heat applied to the water is reduced compared with the first washing mode.
