PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a water heater connecting type washing machine which prevents high temperature hot water from coming into direct contact with clothes and components in a washing tub at a low cost without using components such as a water temperature sensor.SOLUTION: A washing machine includes: a washing tub 3 for accommodating clothes; an outer tub 2 for including the washing tub 3; a water service side electromagnetic water supply valve 7 for supplying water to the outer tub 2; a hot water supply side electromagnetic water supply valve 8 for supplying heated water to the outer tub 2; and a water level sensor 15 for detecting a water level in the outer tub 2. When the water service side electromagnetic water supply valve 7 is opened and a water level reaches a first water level, the water service side electromagnetic water supply valve 7 is closed, and water supply is performed until the water level reaches a second water level by opening the hot water supply side electromagnetic water supply valve 8. 【課題】給湯器を接続するタイプの洗濯機において、水温センサー等の部品を使うことなく、安価に衣類や洗濯槽内の部品に直接熱い湯水が触れることを防ぐ洗濯機を実現する。【解決手段】衣類を収容する洗濯槽３と、洗濯槽３を内包する外槽２と、外槽２に水を供給する水道側電磁給水弁７と、外槽２に加熱された水を供給する給湯側電磁給水弁８と、外槽２内の水位を検知する水位センサー１５とを備え、水道側電磁給水弁７を開き前記水位が第１の水位に到達すると、水道側電磁給水弁７を閉止し、給湯側電磁給水弁８を開いて水位が第２の水位に到達するまで給水を行うようにした洗濯機である。【選択図】図１
