1. A washing control method of a washing machine, comprising:
- detecting wash water temperature several times; and
adjusting at least one of a motor operation rate and a washing time based on the detected wash water temperature,wherein the detecting the wash water temperature several times comprises detecting a temperature of wash water supplied in an initial operation of washing, detecting a rise rate of the wash water temperature which varies according to a material of laundry, and detecting a wash water temperature variation during washing, andwherein the adjusting at least one of the motor operation rate and the washing time comprises decreasing motor-on time and the washing time when the rise rate of the wash water temperature is higher than a reference rise rate of the wash water temperature and increasing the motor-on time and the washing time when the rise rate of the wash water temperature is lower than the reference rise rate of the wash water temperature, andchanging the motor-on time at every temperature step based on a selected wash course.

Abstract
A washing machine and a washing control method of the same capable of controlling a degree of application of the machine force at every temperature step according to the selected washing course based on information, such as the amount of load detected in the beginning of washing and the amount of wash water detected by the rise change of the wash water temperature during washing, thereby reducing damage to laundry during washing and accomplishing optimal washing efficiency. The washing control method includes detecting wash water temperature and controlling a motor operation rate or a washing time based on the detected wash water temperature.
