Abstract

PURPOSE: To easily remove the dirt of a basket by providing a controller for setting a basket washing course by a water supply operation and dehydrating basket rotation and a tank washing selection switch. CONSTITUTION: Laundry or the like is all removed so that the inside of the dehydrating basket 5 is in an empty state. In the state, when a course setting switch 21 is turned on, a 'clean' course is selected by a CPU 34 and a display lamp 31d is lighted. Thereafter, when a dehydrating operation start/stop switch 24 is turned on, by the CPU 34, a water supply valve 10 is opened, water is supplied through a water supply path 11, a water guide plate 12 and a sprinkling cylinder 9 into the dehydrating basket 5, a motor 8 for dehydration is energized and the dehydrating basket 5 is driven to ratate. Such water supply operation and rotational drive of the dehydrating basket 5 are continued for a prescribed time. In this case, the water passing through the sprinkling cylinder 9 receives centrifugal force by the rotation of the dehydrating basket 5, is jetted to the inner peripheral surface part of the dehydrating basket 5 and removes the dirt stuck to the inner peripheral surface part while moving upwards on the inner peripheral surface part.
