Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a dishwasher (1) comprising: a tub (12) having a washing space (12S) therein and comprising a bottom (12B), an upper wall (12T), one sidewall (12R), the other sidewall (12L), and a rear wall (12RR); a door (14) disposed at a front side of the tub (12) and configured to open or close the washing space (12S); and a drying device (100) configured to dry the washing space (12S). The drying device (100) comprises: a drying duct (110) configured to communicate with the inlet port (HI) and the outlet port (H2), disposed outside the tub (12), and comprising a condensing duct (112) and a return duct (114); a fan (130) configured to allow air in the drying duct (110) to flow; and a heater (140) configured to heat the air in the drying duct (110). The condensing duct (112) comprises: a first condensing duct (1122) facing an outer surface of the one sidewall (12R) and having an upstream end communicating with the inlet port (HI); and a second condensing duct (1124) disposed lower than the bottom (12B) and having an upstream end communicating with a downstream end of the first condensing duct (1122). An upstream end of the return duct (114) communicates with a downstream end of the second condensing duct (1124), and a downstream end of the return duct (114) communicates with the outlet port (H2). Accordingly drying performance of the dishwasher (1) is improved by a simple configuration and at low cost.
