Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, in the conventional washing machine, since an accommodating space must be secured under the tub 2 for installing the heater 9 of the heater, the size of the entire washing machine increases.
In addition, since the space for accommodating the heater 9 must also be filled with washing water, the washing water is seriously wasted
[0008] In addition, since the washing water is heated by the heater 9, the energy consumption is increased, and since the washing powder is kept in the heater installation space 8, the usage of the washing powder is increased, and the washing time is prolonged
