Abstract
A method for controlling a washer including determining whether a temperature measured based on a temperature sensor is equal to or lower than a reference temperature, based on the measured temperature being equal to or lower than the reference temperature, opening a water supply valve for a first time to supply water of a first amount, and performing a defrosting operation of a defrosting mode based on the supply of water measured by the flow sensor being a second amount less than the first amount.
Claims20
A washer, comprising:
- a housing;
- a temperature sensor;
- a flow sensor;
- a drum to be disposed within the housing;
- a water supply valve configured to supply water to the drum;
- memory including one or more storage media storing instructions;
- and
- at least one processor, including a processing circuit, to execute the instructions, individually or collectively, and cause the washer to perform at least one operation including:
- determining whether a temperature measured by the temperature sensor is equal to or lower than a reference temperature;
- based on the measured temperature being equal to or lower than the reference temperature, opening the water supply valve for a first time to supply water of a first amount;
- and
- performing a defrosting operation of a defrosting mode based on the supply of water measured by the flow sensor being a second amount, which is less than the first amount.
