Abstract
A washing machine includes a rotary tub; a motor to rotate the rotary tub; a velocity sensing unit to sense rotational velocity of the motor; and a controller to compare a command value of the motor with a predetermined limit value, when the rotational velocity of the motor is less than a spin-drying velocity during spin-drying, to determine whether the motor is overloaded and to control driving of the motor in response to the determination.
