Abstract
A method for controlling a laundry treatment includes performing, by the lower treatment device, a washing course including a water supply step, a washing (rinsing) step, and a dehydration step, and performing, by the upper treatment device, a drying course including a hot air supply step, a fan operation step, and a dryness sensing step. The lower treatment device performs the washing course by changing a configuration of at least one of an operation of the tub heater, an execution time of the washing course, and an operation of the lower driver according to a progress state of the drying course, thereby performing the washing course.
