Abstract: A washing machine that saves energy while maintaining washing performance according to a water temperature is provided. The washing machine includes a main body, a tub provided inside the main body, a first water supply device configured to supply washing water without detergent to the tub, a second water supply device configured to supply washing water containing detergent to the tub, a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the washing water stored in the tub, a circulation bubble device configured to circulate the washing water stored in the tub or generate bubbles in the washing water stored in the tub, a circulation pump configured to supply the washing water stored in the tub to the circulation bubble device, memory storing one or more computer programs, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the washing machine to control the first water supply device to supply the washing water without detergent to the tub, and control a rotation speed of the circulation pump based on a temperature of the washing water without detergent.

Abstract: A washing machine is provided. The washing machine includes a drum, a detergent supply unit for supplying detergent to the drum, a turbidity sensor for detecting the turbidity of water inside the drum, memory storing one or more computer programs, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the drum, the detergent supply unit, the turbidity sensor, and the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the washing machine to control the detergent supply unit to supply the detergent to the drum in case that a washing cycle starts, detect the water turbidity by using the turbidity sensor in case that a predetermined time period elapses after the washing cycle starts, obtain result information by comparing the detected water turbidity with a critical value, and store the obtained result information in the memory.
