Patent ID: 7694373

Claim:
A method for a spinning cycle in a washing machine comprising: (a) step of performing a water-draining by rotating a motor at a predetermined speed lower than a resonance generation speed; (b) step of performing a main-spinning, where the motor is rotated at a high speed, by rotating the motor at a speed higher than the resonance generation speed; and (c) step of decelerating the rotation speed of the motor at the beginning of main-spinning to a speed lower than the resonance generation speed and re-starting the main-spinning, and wherein steps (b) and (c) comprise the steps of: first-main-spinning for rotating the motor to a predetermined first spinning speed higher than the resonance generation speed if the main-spinning starts; decelerating the rotation speed of the motor lower the resonance generation speed to drain the water discharged in the step of first-main-spinning at the moment when the predetermined time passes; second-main-spinning for re-accelerating the rotation speed of the motor to the second predetermined spinning speed higher than the resonance generation speed once the motor is decelerated lower the resonance generation speed.
