Abstract
A dishwasher includes a cabinet having an opening, a door provided to open/close the cabinet opening, a washing chamber member provided in the cabinet and forming a washing chamber facing the opening, a washing nozzle provided facing in a certain direction of the washing chamber, a circulation pump coupled to the washing nozzle, the bottom portion of washing chamber and an external drain outlet, a driving source provided outside the washing chamber, a power transmission mechanism provided at a corner on one side in cabinet behind and outside the washing chamber, and a control circuit controlling the circulation pump and driving source. By the power transmitting mechanism, a dish washing basket placed in the washing chamber is rotated. Since the power transmitting mechanism is placed in a corner behind the washing chamber, the dishwasher can be made smaller.
