Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4190961A1] A control method for a washing machine is provided. The washing machine includes a housing (1); an inner drum (5) disposed inside the housing (1) and provided with a washing cavity independently holding washing water; and an electromagnetic heating device disposed inside the housing (1), and used for correspondingly heating a side wall of the inner drum (5); and the control method includes controlling the electromagnetic heating device to start heating the inner drum (5) when the washing machine performs a last rinsing program and/or a dewatering program. The control method for the washing machine achieves thermal dewatering of clothes, the electromagnetic heating device heats the inner drum (5), and the clothes have lower moisture content, which is convenient for rapid airing/drying in the sun/oven drying, and improves the use experience of users.
