Problems solved by technology

Therefore, a pressure difference may be generated between the bottom surface and the concave surface of the water storage tank
[0006] In addition, when the heater overheats, since there is no device to let the user know that the heater is overheated, it may cause a fire
[0007] Furthermore, in order to replace parts such as the jig that fixes the heater, all parts constituting the washing machine such as the top cover, the washing tank, etc. must be disassembled, thus reducing service efficiency
[0008] In addition, the heat generating part of the heater is installed inside the water storage tank while while the terminal part of the heater protrudes from the bottom surface of the water storage tank, the washing water flowing along the outer periphery of the water storage tank can permeate the terminal part, cause short circuit

Abstract

A washing machine including a water storage tank for storing washing water; a heater having a heating unit provided in the water storage tank and terminal units formed at first and second ends of the heating unit; a heater covering the heater cover; a clamp to hold the heating unit; a thermostat attached to the clamp to detect the temperature of the heater, and a water penetration protection cover to protect the terminal unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a washing machine, in particular to a washing machine with an improved combined heater structure installed on the bottom surface of a water storage tank for heating washing water. Background technique [0002] Generally, a washing machine includes a case defining an exterior of the washing machine and a water storage tank installed in the case. The water storage tank is supported by a shock absorber attached to the upper part of the housing. The washing tank is rotatably installed in the water storage tank. The washing tank is configured to have a plurality of through holes at the bottom and side walls, so that washing water can flow between the washing tank and the water storage tank to remove dirt from laundry to be washed. [0003] Meanwhile, a heater is installed on the bottom surface of the water storage tank. Therefore, even when cold water is supplied into the water storage tank, the cold water can be heated t...
