Estimating the term…
A washing machine including a cabinet; a tub disposed in the cabinet; a drum arranged inside the tub so as to be rotatable; at least one damper coupled to the cabinet and the tub, and including at least one coil configured to generate a magnetic field based on a voltage applied to the at least one coil, and a magneto-rheological fluid having a viscosity that changes based on the magnetic field; and a controller configured to control the voltage applied to the at least one coil based on a rotation speed of the drum and a vibration value of the tub so as to generate the magnetic field to change the viscosity of the magneto-rheological fluid to reduce the vibration of the tub caused by the rotation of the drum.
A washing machine comprising:
A method of controlling a washing machine including at least one damper, including at least one coil configured to generate a magnetic field based on a voltage applied to the at least one coil and a magneto-rheological fluid having a viscosity that changes depending on the magnetic field, the at least one damper coupled to a cabinet and a tub, the method comprising:
