  • Patent number: 10508376
    Abstract: A washing machine is provided. The washing machine includes: a washing/dewatering drum for accommodating the washings; an electric motor for driving the washing/dewatering drum to rotate; and a microcomputer. In a rinsing process of a washing operation in a water saving mode, the microcomputer continuously performs a dewatering-rinsing process for a plurality of times rather than executing a water-storage rinsing process for rotating a rotating wing while water stored in the washing/dewatering drum reaches a specified water level. The dewatering-rinsing process includes: a water supplying process of supplying water to the washing/dewatering drum so that the washings are saturated by water, and an intermediate dewatering process or a final dewatering process executed immediately after the water supplying process. A maximum rotating speed of the motor in the intermediate dewatering process immediately before the water supplying process is lower than a maximum rotating speed in the final dewatering process.
