Abstract (en)

A filter device of a washing machine of the present invention includes a filter body (11) for catching foreign matters, a cap (2) having a knob (9) capable of operating the filter body (11) in the rotation direction and axis direction and a magnetic body (24), a reed switch (26), an O-ring (18) for water sealing, and a control device. The reed switch (26) is turned on when the position of the cap (2) in the rotation direction and axis direction corresponds to a predetermined position. When an ON signal is not input from the reed switch (26), the control device stops proceeding of processes and notifies that the filter device is not mounted completely on a display, thereby notifying a user of abnormality that can be corrected by a user's simple procedure and a procedure to be taken.
