Abstract

See full text

Provided is a washing machine including: a washing tub connected with an outer rotor and an outer shaft; a pulsator connected with an inner rotor and an inner shaft; and a planetary gear set mounted between the inner rotor and the pulsator and between the outer rotor and the washing tub, to thus reduce a rotational force of the inner shaft, wherein the rotational force of the inner rotor is transmitted to the washing tub by the planetary gear set when a load is applied to the pulsator at the time of an initial start of the inner rotor, to thus lower a starting current and lower an end current at a time when the inner rotor is stopped, to thereby reduce power consumption.
