1. A controller for a washing machine comprising:
- a micom wherein an optimal performance electric current value for a washing machine and an electric current limit for concurrent operation of the washing machine and the dryer are set therein; and
communication means for communicating with a controller of a dryer,wherein the micom determines through the communication with the dryer an electric current value to be supplied to the washing machine according to an operation state of the dryer, andwherein the micom determines the electric current value to be supplied to the washing machine out of the electric current limit, corresponding to a ratio between the optimal performance electric current values of the washing machine and the dryer, once the motor for driving the drum of the dryer is judged to be operated.
