Abstract (en)

A drum type washing machine (1) includes a rotary drum (5) installed in a water tub (3) such that a rotational axis thereof is declined toward a rear portion of the washing machine with respect to a horizontal direction. An agitation control is executed for a predetermined time in at least one of a washing process and a rinsing process. The agitation control repeatedly performs a control process of rotating the rotary drum at a rotational speed for a first preset period of time and then stopping the rotary drum for a second preset period of time, and a rotational force due to the first rotational speed allows laundry articles to be lifted up in the rotational direction of the rotary drum and dropped when reaching a height where the weight of the laundry articles is greater than a centrifugal force of the rotary drum exerted on the laundry articles.
