Abstract: A laundry treatment apparatus includes a cabinet having an upper surface, the upper surface being configured to receive an object thereon, a drawer adapted to be drawn from the cabinet, a drum disposed in the drawer and defining a space for receiving laundry, a driving unit configured to rotate the drum, a control unit configured to control the driving unit, and a connector unit configured to impact an ability of the control unit to control operation of the driving unit based on whether or not the object is placed on the upper surface of the cabinet by preventing the control unit from controlling operation of the driving unit based on the object being absent from the upper surface of the cabinet and by allowing the control unit to control operation of the driving unit based on the object being placed on the upper surface of the cabinet.

Abstract: A method for controlling a washing machine is described. The method includes washing laundry by rotating the pulsator in alternating directions with at least a portion of the laundry soaked in wash water in the washing tub. The method further includes draining the wash water from the washing tub; supplying additional wash water into the washing tub. The method further includes increasing a rotation speed of the washing tub with the laundry soaked in the additional wash water. The method further includes sensing a degree of vibration while increasing the rotation speed of the washing tub. The method further includes, based on the sensed degree of vibration being smaller than an allowable degree of vibration, dehydrating the laundry by draining the additional wash water from the washing tub and rotating the washing tub at an increased rotation speed.
