<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display exact remaining time until a washing program is finished by correctly computing water supply time of washing water supplied from a cleaning water supply pipe without using an expensive flow rate sensor for the cleaning water supply pipe, in a washer. <P>SOLUTION: In the washer 10, a control device 40 has a water flow rate computing means and a hot-water supply flow rate computing means which compute flow rates per unit time from time until a float switch 37 detects that water and hot water supplied to a washing tub 20 from a water supply pipe 28 and a hot-water supply pipe 29 have reached a predetermined water level L, and memorize the flow rates per unit time to RAM; computes the water supply and hot-water supply times until reaching to the predetermined water level L based on the flow rates of water and hot water memorized in the RAM by these water flow rates computing means and the hot-water supply flow rate computing means; and displays remaining time until the washing program is finished by using the computed water supply and hot-water supply times. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
