Patent number: 10358757Abstract: Disclosed herein are a washing machine including a moving mechanism and a method of controlling the washing machine. The washing machine includes a cabinet, a tub disposed inside the cabinet, a drum rotatably provided inside the tub, a front panel which is located at one side of the cabinet and comprises an opening through which laundry is inserted and taken out, and a driving unit which moves the tub to change a space between the tub and the front panel. It is possible to prevent oscillation from being transferred by spacing the front panel and the tub apart during washing. Also, it is possible to provide convenience for a user by arranging the front panel and the tub adjacent to each other while inserting or taking out laundry.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2015Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Seung-Mok Lee, Sang Tak Lee, Yong Soo Kyong, Ju-Yeong Kim, Young Jin Um, Jea Won Lee, Jee-Hoon Lee, Kab Jin Jun, Jun Won Seo, Sung-Chul Hwang
