<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a washing machine with a system for detecting a water leakage that does not improperly operate even in cold areas, using a circuit detecting a water leakage by electrodes arranged at the bottom of the washing machine. <P>SOLUTION: The washing machine includes a thermistor 32 which is positioned at a printed wiring board near a magnetic coupling circuit 14, detects the atmosphere temperature of the circuit 14, and corrects a detected value of the water leakage based on the reference value, which results in preventing incorrect detection and conducting quick control for the water leakage caused by setting of a threshold value in the detection level. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
