Abstract
A washing machine and a control method thereof, the washing machine includes: a water container; a filtering device, communicating with the water container and configured to filter the water in the water container, the filtering device is provided with a discharge outlet for discharging filtered impurities outward; and a recovery device, separately arranged with the filtering device and communicating with the discharge outlet of the filtering device for collecting the discharged filtered impurities. The filtered impurities are collected by setting a recovery device, so that the filtered impurities are not directly discharged along with the drainage water of the washing machine. At the same time, the recovery device and the filtering device are separately arranged, and the filtered impurities are discharged into the recovery device without being accumulated in the filtering device, thus avoiding the influence on the filtering efficiency.
