Abstract
A method of controlling a washing machine includes washing laundry received in the drum by water mixed with detergent, performing a spin dry operation, and performing a rinse operation. The spin dry operation includes rotating the drum at a spin dry speed to allow the laundry to rotate along with the drum without falling from a highest point of the drum, and draining water from the tub while rotating the drum at the spin dry speed. The rinse operation includes decelerating the drum from the spin dry speed to a laundry adherence speed lower than the spin dry speed, supplying a first water supply to the drum, draining the first water supply from the tub, and supplying a second water supply to the drum.
