ABSTRACT:
A washing machine which washes laundry by wobbling a washing board mounted on an inner surface of a bottom of a spin-drying tub, and a method of controlling the same. The washing machine includes a weight detection unit and a control unit. The weight detection unit detects a weight of the laundry using an amount of current flowing through a drive motor of the washing machine, which is used to drive the spin-drying tub and the washing board. The control unit controls an entire washing operation of the washing machine to correspond to the detected weight of the laundry.
