A control method of washing machine and a washing machine adopting the control method are provided. The washing machine includes a master control board, and an acceleration sensor (2) configured to detect vibration of an outer drum (1). At least in a high-speed dewatering phase, the master control board is configured to determine whether to perform load redistribution according to vibration data, detected by the acceleration sensor (2), regarding the outer drum (1), and issue an instruction. Since the washing machine determines whether to perform load redistribution according to vibration data, detected by the acceleration sensor (2), regarding the outer drum (1) in the high-speed dewatering phase, various uncontrolled vibrations and displacements can be restrained in advance, thereby increasing operational reliability of the washing machine, avoiding generating a collision of the drum and increasing washing efficiency and service life of the washing machine.
