Abstract:
A laundry treatment machine includes a washing tub, a washing tub motor, a water level sensor, a drain pump, a motor to operate the drain pump, a converter to output DC power, an inverter to convert the DC power into AC power, and a controller to, when power consumed by the motor during a drainage operation does not reach first power, perform control to increase a speed of the motor or the power consumed by the motor, and when the power consumed by the motor during the drainage operation reaches the first power and remains within a first range corresponding to the first power and then falls from the first range, output a drainage completion message. Accordingly, it is possible to quickly and accurately determine the completion of the operation of the drain pump. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the drainage time and reduce the waste of power.
