A washing machine includes a water supply tube (140) supplying wash water to a tub (105); a heater compartment(160) to contain the wash water; a wash heater (165) heating the wash water contained in the heater compartment (160) to generate steam; and a level detection sensor (220) detecting a level of the wash water contained in the heater compartment (160). The washing machine has improved sterilizing effects by sterilizing bacteria and fungi with hot steam. |
