Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a dish washer (1) in which a handle (31) is constructed to automatically protrude and move frontwards from a door (30) only when necessary such as opening and closing of the door (30), to prevent external foreign substances such as dust or the like from being introduced into the door, thereby preventing an inner space of the door from being contaminated and greatly improving user convenience. For this, the dish washer (1) comprises a handle driver (35) disposed inside the door (30) and configured to horizontally move the handle (31) from the retracted position toward the extended position or from the extended position toward the retracted position, wherein the handle driver (35) includes a driving motor (351) configured to generate a rotational driving force to be provided to the handle (31).
