PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid complication of the constitution of a washing machine and insufficient dispersion of ozone when sterilizing inside the washing machine with ozone. SOLUTION: An ozone generating device 16 provided in an upper cover 1a is formed by providing an ozone generator 21, a high-voltage generating device 22, an air supplying device 23, a heater 24, a temperature sensor 25 for ozone generating chamber in a case 17. The ozone generator 21 is formed by providing an electrode 26 on a ceramics board 26, and providing an electrode having an opposite pole in relation to the electrode 27 inside of the board 26. When high voltage is applied between both the electrodes by the high-voltage generating device 22, a creeping discharge is generated so as to generate ozone, and this ozone in the gas condition is supplied between a rotary tub 4 and a water receiver tub 2 through an ozone discharge part 20 by the air supplying device 23. |
