Summary:A washing machine and a method for controlling the washing machine are disclosed. The washing machine comprises: a case; a tub positioned inside the case; a drum rotatably provided in the tub; and a damper provided to reduce vibration between the case and the tub. The damper includes: a cylinder coupled to either the case or the tub; a piston movably inserted into the cylinder, which is coupled to the other of the case and the tub; a friction member encompassing a portion of the outer surface of the piston; an elastic member encompassing the friction member, and having a reduced inner periphery such that elastic force is applied to the friction member to be pressed toward the piston; and a pusher that spaces the elastic member from the cylinder to reduce the elastic force applied by the elastic member to the friction member.
