FULLY AUTOMATIC WASHING MACHINE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fully automatic washing machine which inhibits growth of mold on all over outer peripheral surface of a wash tub by depositing mold retarder on to the outer peripheral surface and flashing moisture for suppressing reproduction of mold. SOLUTION: For depositing mold retarder on an outer tub 13 and the outer surface of the wash tub 14, the wash tub 14 is slowly turned and the mold retarder is sprayed with a pump or dropped on the outer peripheral surface so as to uniformly spread on all over the outer surface. For quickly flashing moisture which is a cause of mold reproduction, the cover 15 of the wash tub 14 is automatically opened after the termination of an operation cycle. The mold retarder solution is deposited on all over the outer peripheral surface of the wash tub every time after the termination of washing cycle, and moisture is not stagnated by half opening the wash tub cover so that reproduction of mold is drastically reduced.
