Washing machine and control method of the same
Disclosed herein are a washing machine and a control method of the same. The control method includes detecting a position of a coupler coupled to a rotor of a drive motor in a first mode in which power from the drive motor is transmitted to a washing shaft and a spin-drying shaft and coupled to a rotation prevention unit of a water tub in a second mode in which the power from the drive motor is transmitted to the washing shaft, determining based on the position of the coupler whether the coupling of the coupler is abnormal, shaking the coupler at a present position or moving the coupler to a position before mode switching and shaking the coupler such that the coupler is moved to a position where the mode switching is to be performed.
