Abstract

A washing machine with improved balancing characteristics includes a drum; a motor configured to rotate the drum; and a memory configured to store a no-load imbalance value of the washing machine and a threshold load imbalance value of the washing machine, wherein the no-load imbalance value is measured from an imbalance occurring during a rotation of the drum having no laundry therein. Further, the washing machine includes a control unit configured to calculate the threshold load imbalance value using the measured no-load imbalance value, compare an actual load imbalance value with the threshold load imbalance value and determine whether to stop a rotation of the drum based on the comparison, wherein the actual load imbalance value is determined from an imbalance occurring during a rotation of the drum having laundry therein.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)This application is based on and claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0160019, filed on Dec. 20, 2013, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.TECHNICAL FIELDEmbodiments of the present invention relate to a washing machine and a method of controlling the washing machine, and more particularly, to a drum type washing machine and a control method thereof having improved balancing characteristics while maximizing balancing capabilities of the washing machine.BACKGROUNDIn general, a drum type washing machine includes a cabinet that forms an exterior of the washing machine, a tub in the cabinet configured to contain washing water (e.g., detergent-containing water), a rotatable drum in the tub configured to receive the laundry, a motor in or under the tub configured to provide rotational force to the drum, a water supply device configured to supply water to the tub, and a drainage device con...
