Abstract

A washing machine (5) that senses whether its door (3) is opened or closed, as well as the vibrations of the washing tub (1), said washing machine (5) includes an optical sensor (30) mounted at a predetermined position in the washing machine (5) and a controller to analyze an output value of the optical sensor (30) to determine whether the door (3) is opened or closed and the vibrations or weight of the washing tub (1); whether the door (3) is opened or closed as well as the vibrations or weight of the washing tub (1) may be determined using a single infrared sensor (30) in a noncontact manner.
