Abstract: Disclosed is a method for operating a washing machine. The method includes a rinsing step for rinsing the laundry by supplying water after the rinsing step, the supplying of the circulation water being stopped or executed for only a certain time. Accordingly, the circulation water is not continuously supplied during the rinsing step, thus it is capable of preventing bubbles from being generated caused by continuously supplying the circulation water. Accordingly, it is capable of preventing detergent dregs from remaining on the laundry even after the rinsing step. And, it is capable of preventing large load from being applied to the washing motors due to the bubbles, thereby being capable of enhancing efficiency of the washing motors and preventing a fire due to increase of a temperature.
