The invention relates to the technical field of clothes care machines, particularly provides a clothes care
machine and a control method thereof, and aims to solve the problem of overflow caused by misjudgment of a
water level probe when the
water conductivity of an existing clothes care
machine is low. In order to achieve the purpose, the clothes care
machine comprises a
water storage box, a waste water box and a drainage pump, and water is drained from the
water storage box to the waste water box by controlling the drainage pump between the
water storage box and the waste water box; a
wastewater level probe is arranged in the
wastewater box; the control method comprises the following steps: acquiring a
wastewater level probe value; and when the value of the wastewater level probe is lower than the actual wastewater amount, the drainage pump is controlled to be started to
discharge water in the water storage box into the wastewater box. And when the value of the wastewater level probe is lower than the actual wastewater amount in the wastewater box, the
conductivity of the wastewater is relatively low, and the
water level value detected by the probe is inaccurate, so that the water in the water storage box is discharged into the wastewater box, and the water in the two water boxes is neutralized to improve the
conductivity of the water in the wastewater box, improve the
water level detection accuracy of the water level probe and prevent overflow.
