Abstract

A control method for a spinning cycle in a washing machine is disclosed. The control method for a spinning cycle in a washing machine includes (a) step of performing a water-draining by rotating a motor at a predetermined speed lower than a resonance generation speed and (b) step of performing a main-spinning by rotating the motor at a speed higher than the resonance generation speed. The control method for a spinning cycle in a washing machine according to the present invention has an advantageous effect that over-vibration caused by unbalance may be controlled and that remaining water within the drum is drained smoothly and vibration/noise of a washing machine is minimized.
