To provide a washing machine capable of surely performing washing and sterilization utilizing electrolysis.

In the electrolytic washing process, when an energizing current value becomes extremely large due to the erroneous feed of a detergent by a user, electrolytic washing performed with a lot of the detergent remaining on laundry and the increase of the detergent concentration of washing water, etc., since an energizing current exceeds an upper limit current value, the operation of an electrolytic device is stopped in the middle of the electrolytic washing. At the time, the operation of a pulsator 7 is continued and washing itself is continued. In the electrolytic washing process, it is needed to fully remove the stains of the laundry differently from the case of a prewashing process. Thus, in the case of stopping the operation of the electrolytic device 31 in the middle of the electrolytic washing process, an additional electrolytic washing process is performed.
