To prevent laundry from colliding against a door and to inhibit vibration caused by the collision.
When the laundry in a drum is determined to be heavy and a hot-air heating course is set, preliminary water supplying processing, first cloth soaking processing, second cloth soaking processing and hot-air heating processing are sequentially started. In the preliminary water supplying processing, tap water is stored in a water receiving tub up to a preliminary water level, and the tap water is poured on the laundry from a circulating pump while the drum stands still. In the first cloth soaking processing, the tap water is poured on the laundry from the circulating pump while the drum stands still. In the second cloth soaking processing, the tap water is poured on the laundry from the circulating pump while the drum rotates. At the start of the second cloth soaking processing, a volume of the laundry is decreased by the tap water that permeates the laundry. Thereby, the vibration generated by the laundry colliding against the door can be inhibited in the second cloth soaking processing and the hot-air heating processing.
