Abstract
A laundry treatment apparatus includes a drum, a steam generator, a steam flow path to the drum, a water supply pump, a water supply tank, a connection pipe which connects the steam generator to the water supply pump, a water level sensor which senses a water level inside the steam generator, a water supply pipe which connects the steam generator to a water supply source, and a water supply valve for opening and closing the water supply pipe. A control method for the laundry treatment apparatus includes operating the water supply pump for a preset first reference time period, sensing the water level inside the steam generator while operating the water supply pump, and setting the water supply through the water supply tank to a default water supply mode when the water level inside the steam generator is changed while operating the water supply pump.
