A washing machine includes a main body, a rinse water contamination sensor(16), and a controller. The main body receives laundry and washes laundry. The rinse water contamination sensor is attached to the main body and senses a contamination level of rinse water during a rinse operation. The controller is electrically connected to the sensor, compares a value sensed by the sensor with a previously stored reference value and control the next operating step. |
