A laundry processing device comprising:
- a first washing unit which performs washing;
- a first controller which controls operation of the first washing unit;
- a second washing unit which is installed in a lower portion of the first washing unit to be in contact with the first washing unit, and performs washing independently;
- a vibration sensor which is disposed in a contact portion of the first washing unit and the second washing unit to detect vibration;
- and
- a second controller for controlling the second washing unit to be supplied with water in response to the vibration detected by the vibration sensor, in a state where the second washing unit does not perform washing.
A method for controlling a laundry processing device comprising a first washing unit and a second washing unit for performing washing in an independent washing space, wherein the first washing unit is disposed above the second washing unit, the method comprising:
- a start step of performing washing according to an inputted setting by the first washing unit;
- a detection step of detecting a vibration amount by a vibration sensor disposed in a contact portion of the first washing unit and the second washing unit;
- and
- a control step of controlling the second washing unit to be supplied with water, in response to a vibration detected by the vibration sensor, in a state where the second washing unit does not perform washing.
