Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3312331A1] The object of the present invention is to provide a washing machine capable of detecting that washings in a washing drum are in a state unsuitable for a dewatering process in a phase earlier than the dewatering process. The washing machine (1) includes: a washing drum (4) for accommodating washings (Q); a stirring component (5) configured to face the washings (Q) from a lower side Z2 inside the washing drum (4); a motor (6) for rotating the stirring component (5); and a microcomputer (30) for controlling water supply and drainage for the washing drum (4) or controlling a voltage applied to the motor (6) to rotate the stirring component (5). During a washing process in which the stirring component (5) is rotated in a state that water is stored in the washing drum (4), the microcomputer (30) obtains an index which indicates a size of resistance generated by the washings (Q) in the washing drum (4) to rotation of the stirring component (5). When the index exceeds a specified threshold since the resistance in the washing process is less than a specified resistance, the microcomputer (30) judges that the washings (Q) in the washing drum (4) are in a state unsuitable for the dewatering process.
