Therefore, in the water supply mode C1, the water supply valve 14b is opened for a predetermined time so that a predetermined amount of water is supplied to the first powder detergent receiver 31a or the liquid detergent receiver 40, and the water supply stops. In mode C2, the water supply valve 14b is shielded for more than twice as long as the operation time of the water supply mode, and the water supply is stopped.

The operating time of the water supply mode C1 is a time for water is supplied by the water supply mechanism 14 until the liquid detergent and the water are discharged through the siphon mechanism 43 of the liquid detergent receiving portion 40. It is set longer.

That is, in the water supply mode C1, water is sufficiently supplied to the first powder detergent accommodating part 31a or the liquid detergent accommodating part 40 so as not to be discharged in the first water supply step (A) (B). Diluted powder or liquid detergent. In the water supply stop mode C2, the aqueous solution in which the powder detergent or the liquid detergent is diluted is waited until it is completely discharged from the first powder detergent receiver 31a or the liquid detergent receiver 40. When the water supply mode C1 and the water supply stop mode C2 are repeated up to the set number of times, the residual detergent present in the first powder detergent accommodating portion 31a or the liquid detergent accommodating portion 40 is completely removed.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, in the water supply mode C1, the water supply valve 14b is opened for 5 seconds to supply water, and then, in the water supply stop mode C2, the water supply valve 14b is It is shielded for 12 seconds and the water supply of water is stopped, and the water supply mode C1 and the water supply stop mode C2 are set to be repeated three times.

In the second continuous water supply process (D) of the second water supply step (C) (D), when the second intermittent water supply process (C) is completed, the water level supplied to the tub (5) reaches the second set water level. The water supply valve 14b is opened until it becomes (S8, S9, S10).

The second set water level is a washing level set according to the quantity of laundry put into the drum 6 and a washing code set by the user. Therefore, when the water supply level detected by the water level sensor 50 reaches the second set water level, the second continuous water supply process (D) of the second water supply step (C) (D) is completed and the water supply stroke is finished. Then, the drum 6 is driven by the drive mechanism 4 to wash the laundry.

As described above, the first water supply step (A) (B) is a step of supplying water to the tub 5 and supplying the detergent supplied to the detergent supply mechanism 15 to the tub 5, The second water supply step (C) (D) is a step of supplying water to the tub 5 and removing the detergent remaining in the detergent supply mechanism 15.
