Abstract
Provided are a programmable motor and a household appliance having the same. The programmable motor comprises a main body (21) and a driving device (22) comprising a reprogramming interface. When performing reprogramming on the programmable motor, the reprogramming interface communicates with a programming device to receive a motor parameter or a motor software program, to transmit the same to the driving device (22), and to update the motor parameter or the motor software program in the driving device (22). The method realizes rewriting of a motor software program and realizes reprogramming of a motor by directly inserting a programming device into a reprogramming interface of a driving device (22) without having to disassemble the driving device (22), thereby effectively reducing post-sale costs associated with a motor, and improving post-sale efficiency associated with the motor.
