<p>A washing machine includes a washing machine housing 9 having electrical conducting properties and having an earth connection portion 58, a leaked water tub 15 having electrical insulating properties and installed in a bottom part of the washing machine housing 9 for accumulating leaked water, an electrode 54 for detecting presence or absence of the leaked water in the leaked water tub 15, a leaked water detection circuit 60 connected to the electrode 54, the leaked water detection circuit having an electrical insulating function, a retaining member 71 having electrical insulating properties and retaining the electrode 54, and an attachment member having electrical conducting properties 37 and attaching the electrode 54 to the washing machine housing 9 via the retaining member 71. The attachment member 37 is electrically connected to the washing machine housing 9. In the leaked water tub 15, a lowest end of the attachment member 37 is positioned on the lower side of a lowest end of the electrode 54. Thereby, a safe and inexpensive washing machine is realized.</p> |
