Disclosed herein are a laundry apparatus for heating a drum by an induction heater and a control method thereof. According to an embodiment, the method of controlling a laundry apparatus including a tub, a drum, an induction heating module mounted on the tub to heat the drum, and a circulation pump configured to pump wash water from the tub to an upper portion of the drum includes supplying wash water into the tub through a water supply valve, circulating the wash water by operating the circulation pump and performing fabrics soaking by driving the drum, performing heating by the induction heating module after termination of the fabrics soaking, and performing washing by driving the drum, wherein a water level of the wash water at the termination of the fabrics soaking is lower than a water level of the wash water at the termination of the water supply.

Disclosed herein are a laundry apparatus and a control method thereof. According to an embodiment, the method of controlling a laundry apparatus including a tub, a drum, an induction heating module mounted on the tub to heat the drum, and a circulation pump configured to pump wash water from the tub to the drum includes supplying wash water into the tub through a water supply valve, circulating the wash water by operating the circulation pump and performing fabrics soaking by driving the drum after termination of the water supply, performing heating by driving the induction heating module after termination of the fabrics soaking, and performing washing by driving the drum after termination of the heating, wherein the heating is performed while a water level of the wash water is lower than a lowest end of the drum, the heating including heating the drum, the wash water, and fabrics.

Disclosed herein are a laundry apparatus for heating a drum by an induction heater and a control method thereof. According to an embodiment, the method of controlling a laundry apparatus including a tub, a drum and an induction heating module mounted on the tub to heat the drum through induction heating includes a water supply step of supplying wash water into the tub through a water supply valve; and a heating step of performing heating by driving the induction heating module after termination of the water supply step, wherein, in the heating step, driving of the drum and driving of the induction heating module are controlled to be operatively connected to each other, wherein a period for driving the drum comprises a period for driving the induction heating module, and the driving of the induction heating module is excluded outside the period for driving the drum.
