Abstract

A washing machine that is capable of providing a stable washing mode even when a washing- related device is abnormal during a washing operation is disclosed. When a steam generation unit, which generates high-temperature steam into a drum, is abnormal, the operation of the steam generation unit is interrupted, and an operation for driving a washing heater mounted in a tub is performed, or an operation for driving a drying unit, which supplies high-temperature dry hot air into the drum, is performed. A steam substituting algorithm is provided when the steam generation unit is abnormal during the operation using the high-temperature steam. Con not sequently, the interruption of the washing operation due to the abnormal steam injection function is prevented, and therefore, the reliability of the product is improved while the inconvenience of use is minimized.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a washing machine, and more particularly, to an operation control method of a washing machine having a steam generating unit for supplying high-temperature steam. Background technique [0002] Generally, a washing machine is a household appliance widely used in homes. A washing machine is a machine that removes dirt from laundry such as clothes and beddings using emulsification of detergent, friction of movement of washing water generated by rotation of a drum of the washing machine, and impact force acting on the laundry. [0003] Washing machines can be divided into: agitation type washing machines, the drum of which is installed along the vertical direction; and drum type washing machines, where the drum of the drum type is installed along the horizontal direction. [0004] Generally, a washing operation is a process of supplying detergent and washing water to laundry so that dirt can be removed from the l...
