Abstract (en)

A drum-type washing machine according to the present invention is adapted to have a mode for selecting a detection axis along which vibration values in a water tank (42) in three-dimensional directions, which have been detected by a vibration detector (78), indicate a maximum value, and for restarting a spin-drying operation when the vibration value detected along this detection axis exceeds a first threshold value defined for each rotation-speed range of a rotary drum (43) but is less than a second threshold value, in spin-drying processes. With this structure, the drum-type washing machine can early detect imbalance abnormalities and can safely stop running.
