DOOR LOCK DEVICE, ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE AND CONTROL METHOD

Abstract: a control method for a door lock device, the control method including: determining whether there is an obstacle in a gap with which a door of an electrical apparatus is opened in the process of the door moving toward a closed position; controlling a motor to rotate in a second direction of rotation for a predetermined period of time if there is an obstacle in the gap, and repeating the step until the obstacle is removed from the gap; and controlling the motor to rotate in a first direction of rotation if there is no obstacle in the gap, so as to allow the door to move to the closed position. the control method can prevent an obstacle (for example, a hand of a user accidentally reaching into the gap) from being clamped during an automatic door closing process for a dishwasher.
