Benefits of technology

[0015]According to the aspects of the present invention, since the time for spraying the washing water is properly adjusted in accordance with a water pressure of the washing water supplied to the washing machine, it is possible to sufficiently wet the laundry even when the water pressure of the washing water is lowered, thereby providing a proper washing state for the laundry.

Problems solved by technology

However, when wetting the laundry by supplying the washing water in the direction from the cover side toward the washing tub, it is difficult to evenly wet the laundry in the washing tub.
When the water pressure of the washing water is low, the washing water may not be properly sprayed through the nozzle.

Abstract

Provided are a washing machine and a method of controlling the washing machine. The method includes measuring a time required for an amount of washing water supplied to a washing tub to reach a predetermined reference amount, determining a water pressure of the washing water in accordance with the measured time, and varying a water supply time in accordance with the determined water pressure. The water supply time can be adjusted according to the water pressure, it can be prevented that the washing performance is varied whenever the wash water is varied. Thus, the washing performance can be improved regardless of the water pressure.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2009-0118525 filed on Dec. 2, 2009 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a washing machine and a method of controlling the same, and more particularly, to a washing machine and a method of controlling the same, which can prevent washing performance from varying in accordance with a water pressure at a place where the washing machine is disposed.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]In general, a washing machine is a machine that removes foreign substances from laundry by treating the laundry.[0006]A process for treating the laundry by the washing machine includes a process for washing the laundry using washing water in which detergent is dissolved, a process for rinsing the laundry by su...
