Abstract:
To improve operability and safety of an operation display part including a power switch, at low cost.SOLUTION: Control means 12 is constituted to be normally in a conductive state. A power switch 30 includes two areas of a start part 30a for starting an operation of the content set by being touched and a temporary stop part 30b for temporarily stopping the operation by being touched. By touching both the start part 30a and the temporary stop part 30b simultaneously, the power of the washing machine is turned ON/OFF. With this constitution, a responsive capacitance type touch switch can be constructed at low price without increasing cost. Also, since a strong pressing force is not required, switch operability is good even for elderly people having difficulty in pressing the switch strongly, and excellent usability can be displayed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
