An image forming apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a power supply circuit, a driving circuit, an opening/closing unit, a first switch configured to switch to a connected state and a disconnected state, at least one processor including a first mode for executing vector control for controlling the driving circuit and a second mode for controlling the driving circuit.
The at least one processor is configured to determine a rotational phase using a detected current and a set control value, to control the driving circuit, to execute discriminating a type of the motor based on the detected current in the second mode, and to set the control value based on a result of the discriminating. The result based on the detected current in a state where the first switch is in the disconnected state is not used to set the control value.
