PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately determine a soil amount in washing water even when a washing nozzle or piping is soiled. SOLUTION: After the dishwasher in which the initial value of the sensor output of soil detection means 30 is stored before shipping (S0) is shipped and installed, when an operation ON button is pressed, the sensor output of the soil detection means 30 is detected, and the sensor output and the stored initial value are compared (S6). Whether the values are comparable is compared (S11), and when the sensor output value is smaller, the output of a light emitting portion is increased so as to bring the sensor output value closer to the initial value (S12). When the sensor output value is at the same level, a washing operation is started (S13). Then, when washing water flows into a washing tub 12 and is circulated inside and outside the washing tub 12 through a washing pump 17, the transmittance is detected by the soil detection means 30 (S14). By comparing the obtained sensor output value with the initial value or the like, the soil amount of the washing water is determined (S15). COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
