Abstract:
1. A method of controlling a washer, comprising: selecting a wash course, the selecting the wash course including selecting one of a plurality of selectable dewatering courses, wherein the selectable dewatering courses are set to include at least one of different eccentricity detection reference values, respectively; storing in memory the at least one eccentricity detection reference value per the selected dewatering course; and performing the selected wash course and the selected dewatering course based on the stored at least one eccentricity detection reference value according to the selected dewatering course, wherein the stored at least one eccentricity detection reference is compared with a detected eccentricity to control the selected dewatering course, wherein the selectable dewatering courses include at least a normal dewatering course and a silent dewatering course, and wherein the at least one eccentricity detection reference value includes at least one normal dewatering eccentricity reference value corresponding to the normal dewatering course and at least one silent dewatering eccentricity reference value corresponding to the silent dewatering course, and the at least one silent dewatering eccentricity reference value is set lower than the at least one normal dewatering eccentricity reference value.
