Washing machine and control method thereof

Problem

How can vibration in electric motors and rotors be reduced?

Solution

washing machine includes a drum, a pulsator, a motor including a stator, a first rotor connected to the drum and second rotor connected to the pulsator, an inverter circuit connected to the motor, and at least one processor configured to control the inverter circuit to selectively drive the motor based on a plurality of driving modes, the plurality of driving modes including a first driving mode to rotate only the first rotor, a second driving mode to rotate only the second rotor, or a third driving mode to rotate both the first rotor and the second rotor, control the inverter circuit to stop both the first rotor and the second rotor in response to changing from one of the plurality of driving modes to an other one of the plurality of driving modes, and control the inverter circuit to drive the motor based on the changed driving mode.
