Through the setting, the phenomenon that the interval time between the main washing program and the high-temperature disinfection program is too long and the preheating water in the water tank 10 is cooled to not meet the use condition is avoided.

In this embodiment, among the disinfection module 200 execution pasteurization procedure process, the delivery port of water tank 10 is closed to guarantee that the retaining in the water tank 10 can be heated to higher temperature, avoided retaining in the water tank 10 to utilize disinfection module 200 to preheat the emergence by the in-process in service behavior, promoted the effect of disinfection module 200 to the retaining heating in the water tank 10 greatly.

Preferably, in this embodiment, during the high temperature sterilization process performed by the sterilization module 200, the water supply port of the washing module 100 is communicated with the water inlet joint 11, and external water supply is used for washing.

Further preferably, in this embodiment, in order to further reduce the energy consumption of the main washing program of the dishwasher, the following manner may be adopted: during the process of the high-temperature sterilization program executed by the sterilization module 200, when the washing module 100 executes the main washing program, the washing module 100 suspends the execution of the main washing program until the high-temperature sterilization program executed by the sterilization module 200 is completed, the water supply port of the washing module 100 is communicated with the water outlet of the water tank 10, and the washing module 100 supplies water by using the water tank 10 to execute the main washing program.
