WASHING MACHINE

摘要

The washing machine is provided with: an electrically conductive washing machine cabinet (9) with a ground connection (58); an insulated leakage water basin (15) for collecting leakage water, which is disposed at the bottom of the washing machine cabinet (9); an electrode (54) for detecting the presence or absence of leakage water in the leakage water basin (15); a leakage water-detecting circuit (60) connected to the electrode (54) and having an insulating function; an insulated holder member (71) that holds the electrode (54); and an electrically conductive fastening member (37) that fastens the electrode (54) to the washing machine cabinet (9) via the holder member (71). The fastening member (37) is electrically connected to the washing machine cabinet (9). In the leakage water basin (15), the lowest end of the fastening member (37) is positioned lower than the lowest end of the electrode (54), thereby providing a safe and cost-effective washing machine.
