The invention discloses a washing
machine and a control method thereof. The washing
machine comprises an inner
barrel and a
temperature control module, wherein washing water is independently containedin the inner
barrel the when clothes are washed, the
temperature control module is used for controlling the temperature of water in the inner
barrel, the
temperature control module comprises a control device and a detection device used for detecting the
water level and the
water temperature in the inner barrel, and the detection device is in
wireless communication connection with the control device; and the control method comprises the step that when the washing
machine executes a water inlet program, the temperature control module controls the
water level and the
water temperature in the inner barrel according to a
signal fed back by the detection device in a
wireless communication mode. According to the washing machine and a control method, the
water temperature in the non-porous innerbarrel washing machine is detected in a
wireless communication mode, the situation that a large number of control cables are arranged between the inner barrel and an outer barrel, and consequently rotation of the inner barrel is affected is avoided, meanwhile, the intelligent level of the washing machine is improved, a foundation is provided for household
internet of things, and due to the fact that wireless communication is high in expansibility, convenience is provided for adding other wireless equipment to the washing machine.
