Benefits of technology

[0015]One object of the present invention is to provide a washing machine, in which water stored in a tub is uniformly supplied to laundry in a drum, thus smoothly washing and rinsing the laundry with a small amount of washing water.

Problems solved by technology

In a situation where the washing water cannot be supplied up the height of the laundry contained in the drum, the washing water stored in the bottom of the tub cannot be substantially used.
Particularly, if the washing water is absorbed into dry laundry in the initial stage of the operation and thus the level of the washing water is lower than an expected level, the washing and rinsing of the laundry cannot be properly performed.
