Patent number: 8020231Abstract: A control method of a washing machine is capable of safely achieving a tub washing operation control with low power consumption. At the time of performing tub washing, water of which the amount is decided depending on a volume inside a drum and a volume inside a water tub is supplied to the water tub, and the rotation speed of the drum is controlled to be inversely proportional to the volume of the supplied water, thereby efficiently controlling a tub washing operation with low power consumption. Also, the rotation state of the drum is controlled, at the time of performing the tub washing, to maintain the temperature of a motor or a printed circuit board (PCB) to be a predetermined level or less, thereby safely controlling a tub washing operation with low power consumption.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2009Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: In Ju Lee, Jong Sung Park, Jung Soo Lim, Sang Yeon Pyo, Woo Kyung Jung, Hye Ryung Kim
