PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate acquisition of a sterilization effect as much as possible by enabling one-pass sterilization and circulation sterilization without switching of a selector valve and the like.SOLUTION: A washing machine includes: a water supply passage for an outside water storage source for supplying water of an outside water storage source separated from city water to a water tub; and a circulation water passage which is provided so that an inlet of one end part is connected to a bottom of the water tub, and an outlet of the other end part faces the water tub. A circulation pump is provided in the circulation passage, and a sterilization device is provided on a downstream side of the circulation pump. Water of an outside water storage source supplied to the water tub from the water supply passage for an outside water storage source is supplied between the water tub and a washing and dewatering tub. A water level of the water of the outside water storage source stored in the water tub is detected by a water level sensor, and when the detected water level has reached a set water level which is set in advance, the circulation pump is allowed to operate.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
