In the image forming apparatus, a developing bias in a developing unit is supplied from a drive electrode on the main body side of the apparatus to an electrode member as a DEV output. A detect electrode is also in contact with the electrode member from the apparatus main body side, while the electric potential of the detect electrode is input to a control part through an A/D converter. The control part, based on the electric potential, controls the DEV output so that the electric potential can coincide with a desired electric potential, and when the electric potential is less than a given value, the control part judges that an abnormal condition such as poor contact has occurred.
