Abstract (en)

A dishwasher includes a washing tub for accommodating an item to be washed; a washing section for washing the item to be washed in the washing tub; a water feeding device for feeding washing water into the washing tub; a draining device for discharging the washing water from the washing tub to outside the dishwasher; and a drainage path arranged in communication with the draining device. Also provided are a turbidity detecting unit arranged in the drainage path and for detecting information related to the turbidity of the washing water in the drainage path; and a control unit for changing an operation condition of the washing section according to the information related to the turbidity of the washing water detected by the turbidity detecting unit, and performing control. At the start of the operation, the control unit compares values detected by the turbidity detecting unit in a water-absent state and in a water-present state after the water is fed by the water feeding device. Whether or not to adopt the value detected by the turbidity detecting unit in the water-present state as a reference value of the information related to the turbidity of the washing water then can be determined.
