Abstract

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.
