Abstract
A washing machine including a cabinet; a tub arrangeable inside the cabinet; a drum rotatable inside the tub; a motor configured to generate power to rotate the drum; a ball balancer arrangeable in the drum; a damper to support the tub and configured to have a damping force that is changeable; and at least one processor that controls the rotation speed of the motor and the damper force of the damper. As the drum is rotated by the motor according to the rotation speed of the motor controlled by the at least one processor, the at least one processor performs balancing of the ball balancer by controlling the damper force of the damper such that the damper has a smaller damper force in a last resonance section than that in a previous resonance section from among the plurality of resonance sections.
