Abstract

A washing machine includes: a cabinet on a front side thereof with an inlet through which laundry is input; a tub inside the cabinet and having an opening corresponding to the inlet; a drum rotatably inside the tub; a motor configured to provide power for rotating the drum; a first vibration sensor configured to detect vibration generated from the tub; a second vibration sensor configured to detect vibration generated from the cabinet; and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to perform a spin-drying process according to a spin-drying profile defined by a rotational speed of the drum, and to control rotation of the drum based on a first vibration value corresponding to an output of the first vibration sensor and a second vibration value corresponding to an output of the second vibration sensor during a spin-drying process.
