Abstract (en)

An object is to provide a toilet device (500) capable of more reliably detecting a failure of a temperature sensor.A toilet device (500) includes: a nozzle (30) that discharges water toward a private part of a human body; a flow path (40) connecting a water supply source (WS) and the nozzle (30); an instantaneous heat exchanger (50) that is provided in the flow path (40) and warms water supplied from the water supply source (WS); a first temperature sensor (60) that is provided downstream of the instantaneous heat exchanger (50) in the flow path (40) and detects a temperature of water; a second temperature sensor (65) that is provided downstream of the first temperature sensor (60) in the flow path (40) and detects a temperature of water; and a control unit (70) that determines whether the first temperature sensor (60) or the second temperature sensor (65) has failed, characterized in that when a difference between a first temperature detected by the first temperature sensor (60) and a second temperature detected by the second temperature sensor (65) is equal to or larger than a predetermined value, the control unit (70) determines that the first temperature sensor (60) or the second temperature sensor (65) has failed.
