<p>A steam generating device (50) and a washing machine having the same are disclosed. The steam generating device (50) includes a case (80) for containing water, the case (80) receiving a heater, a water level sensor (60) for sensing a water level of the case, and a receptacle extending downwardly from a top of the case (80) while enclosing the water level sensor (60), to prevent the water level sensor from malfunctioning, the receptacle having an open bottom directly communicating with an interior of the case (80), to prevent foreign matter from being accumulated in the receptacle. The structure of the receptacle covering the water level sensor (60) is improved. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the accumulation of foreign matter in the receptacle, and thus to prevent the water level sensor (60) from malfunctioning.</p> |
