Abstract
A washing machine having balancers and a method of controlling the same is provided. The number of rotations of a motor is maintained at a designated number before excessive vibration of a tub occurs for a designated time in order to prevent excessive vibration of the tub before balls reach a balancing position. The method includes sensing the number of rotations of a motor; determining whether or not the sensed number of rotations of the motor reaches a designated number of rotations by comparing the sensed number of rotations of the motor with the designated number of rotations; and controlling the motor such that the number of rotations of the motor is maintained at the designated number of rotations when it is determined that the sensed number of rotations of the motor reaches the designated number of rotations.
