Clothes treating apparatus and method for controlling the same

Abstract

A clothes treating apparatus includes: a drum configured to accommodate clothes; a drive motor configured to rotate the drum; a current sensor configured to detect a current flowing through the drive motor; a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of air discharged from the drum; a humidity sensor configured to detect a humidity of the air discharged from the drum; and a controller configured to: determine a weight of the clothes accommodated in the drum based on a detection result of the current sensor, and based on the weight of the clothes determined being greater than or equal to a reference weight, determine whether the clothes are dry according to a change in the humidity detected by the humidity sensor and a number of times the temperature detected by the temperature sensor reaches a target temperature.
