Abstract
Disclosed herein are a dishwasher and a method of controlling the dishwasher. The dishwasher includes: a first sensor configured to detect whether a push bar for selectively opening and closing a door has deviated from a first reference point; a second sensor configured to detect changes in the signal attributable to the movement of the push bar based on a second reference point that is different from the first reference point; a third sensor configured to detect changes in the signal attributable to the movement of a movable member, to which the push bar can be coupled, based on a third reference point that is different from the second reference point; and a control unit configured to determine the opened/closed state of the door based on the detection result of at least one of the first, second, and third sensors.
