Abstract
An apparatus and a method for predicting freezing of a washing machine, which predicts freezing of the washing machine based on a change of air temperature through an artificial intelligence algorithm and provides a freeze prediction result to a user terminal associated with the washing machine in a 5G environment, thereby preventing freezing of the washing machine. The apparatus for predicting freezing of the washing machine determines, based on temperature data sensed by a temperature sensor disposed in the washing machine and air temperature data received from a meteorological administration server, an association of temperature change of the washing machine according to the air temperature data, through the freezing prediction algorithm, and predicts freezing of the washing machine based on the association of temperature change of the washing machine and an air temperature forecast received from the meteorological administration server.
