PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately detect a tightly closed state between a washing tub and a lid for tightly closing its opening part by devising how to apply a pressure to the washing tub. SOLUTION: This dishwasher includes: the washing tub having the opening part and storing tableware; the lid for tightly closing the opening part of the washing tub; a washing pump for pumping wash water to a rotating nozzle provided in the washing tub; a drying fan for sending air to the washing tub; an exhaust passage for communicating from the washing tub to the outside of the machine; a water feed solenoid valve for feeding water to the washing tub; a pressure sensor for detecting the pressure in the washing tub on the premise that the dishwasher has a level switch for detecting the water level inside the washing tub; and a tightly closed state detecting means for detecting the tightly closed state of the lid based on the pressure detected by the pressure sensor. The drying fan sends air to the washing tub to increase the pressure inside the washing tub and detect the tightly closed state of the lid. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
