Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a laundry treatment machine. A pump motor provided in a drain pump is controlled to correspond to the operation of the main motor and the water level, so that the pump motor slows down based on the speed of rotation of the main motor and the water level and keeps operating at low speed. Therefore, the pump motor is able to keep operating without stopping operation, and the amount of noise caused by the start-up of the motor is reduced, and the time taken to align the rotor of the motor in position is reduced, thereby reducing drainage time and improving the drainage performance of the drain pump.
