Benefits of technology

[0011] Accordingly, it is an aspect of the present invention to provide a washing machine having a detergent supply device which can maintain the pressure of wash water, supplied into detergent receiving chambers, at a predetermined value, thereby preventing detergent from remaining in the detergent receiving chambers when low-pressure wash water is supplied, or from producing bubbles when high-pressure wash water is supplied.

Problems solved by technology

When the pressure of the wash water supplied into the detergent receiving chambers is low, the detergents may be supplied into the water tub in an insufficiently mixed state with the wash water, and thus may remain in the detergent supply device.
Further, when the pressure of the wash water is high, a great deal of bubbles as stated above may be produced, thereby invading other detergent receiving chambers filled with different kinds of detergents, or being leaked out of the washing machine.
