Abstract (en)
A washing machine for preventing contaminants from degenerating and laundry from being damaged when water is supplied in a washing operation, and a method for controlling the supply of water thereof. Particularly, a washing machine for supplying cold water (S110) to laundry for sufficiently soaking the laundry and then supplying warm water (S130) at a high temperature to the laundry so as to prevent contaminants from degenerating, and a method for controlling the supply of water of the washing machine, thereby preventing the deterioration of washing performance of the washing machine. The method includes determining whether or not a water supply operation is selected, supplying cold water to soak laundry (S110) when it is determined that the water supply operation is selected and supplying warm water (S130), after the soaking of the laundry in the cold water, to prevent contaminants of the laundry from degenerating.
