The present invention provides a method of controlling opening and closing of a door in a drum-type washing machine. When the drum-type washing machine suddenly stops in operation, e.g. in case of a mistake by a user or a switch-off, a water level of a tub is sensed, which shows lower than predetermined height, thereafter a door-lock-system is converted that the door can be opened. To this functio...
