Disclosed is a drum washing machine, including: an outer tank, configured in a shell; a drum, configured in the outer tank and capable of rotating by using a horizontal shaft or an inclination shaft inclining relative to a horizontal direction as a center; a rotating body, configured at a rear part of the drum and having protruding parts in contact with washings on a surface of the rotating body; a driving part, capable of operating in a first drying form and a second driving form, wherein the first driving form refers to a driving form which enables the drum and the rotating body to rotate at different rotating speeds, and the second driving form refers to a driving form which enables the drum and the rotating body to rotate integrally at the same rotating speed; and a control part.

A method for terminating remote control over a washing machine wherein when shutdown control over the washing machine is triggered, the washing machine sends an instruction to terminate a channel between the washing machine and a mobile terminal connected with the washing machine, and shuts down. The shutdown control is triggered in a short-range or remote manner. By this method a termination instruction is sent before the washing machine shuts down to terminate a channel between the washing machine and the mobile terminal, it is ensured that the channel between the washing machine and a mobile terminal has already been cut off before the washing machine shuts down, such that the washing machine is no longer controlled by the mobile terminal connected with the washing machine the last time when being turned on next time, for improving security of washing machine control.
