Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2901909A1] A washing machine of the present invention includes: a washing tub configured to contain an object to be washed; a washing apparatus which washes the object to be washed with washing water; a heater which heats the washing water; a temperature sensor which detects a temperature of the washing water; and a controller which controls a series of washing operations including a washing step, a rinsing step, a heat-rinsing step, and a drying step. The controller has a configuration in which, when the temperature sensor detects a first predetermined temperature in at least one of the washing step and the heat-rinsing step, the controller performs, until a predetermined period of time has elapsed, a heater control in which power-on and power-off of the heater are repeated based on preset periods of time. With this arrangement, a washing machine in which high washing performance is maintained and which is excellent in energy saving performance can be realized.
