To provide a washing machine which improves the performance of supplying a detergent solution when an automatic feeding device is used.SOLUTION: A washing machine in the present disclosure includes: a casing; a washing tub provided inside the casing, for accommodating laundry; an outer tub rotatably including the washing tub; a water guiding passage for supplying water introduced from a water supply valve to the washing tub or the outer tub; a solution tank for storing a solution therein; and a solution automatic feeding device for injecting the solution stored in the solution tank into the washing tub. The water guiding passage includes: a first water passage for supplying water to the washing tub or the outer tub without allowing the water to pass through the solution automatic feeding device; a second water passage for supplying water to the washing tub or the outer tub through the solution automatic feeding device; and a retention part arranged below the first water passage and on the downstream of the second water passage, for retaining therein a detergent solution supplied from the second water passage. After the elapse of a prescribed time after the solution automatic feeding device is driven to inject the solution, water is supplied to the retention part through the first water passage.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 18 【課題】本開示は、自動投入装置使用時の洗剤液の供給性能を向上させる洗濯機を提供する。【解決手段】本開示における洗濯機は、筐体と、前記筐体内部に設けられ、洗濯物を収容する洗濯槽と、前記洗濯槽を回転可能に内包する外槽と、給水弁から導入された水を前記洗濯槽又は前記外槽に供給する導水経路と、内部に液剤を貯蔵する液剤タンクと、前記液剤タンクに貯蔵された液剤を前記洗濯槽に注送する液剤自動投入装置と、を備え、前記導水経路は、前記液剤自動投入装置を通らずに前記洗濯槽又は前記外槽に給水する第１の水路と、前記液剤自動投入装置を通って前記洗濯槽又は前記外槽に給水する第２の水路と、前記第１の水路の下方かつ前記第２の水路の下流に配置され、前記第２の水路から供給された洗剤液が滞留する滞留部と、を含み、前記液剤自動投入装置を駆動させて液剤を注送させた後、所定時間経過後に、前記第１の水路を介して前記滞留部に給水する。【選択図】図１８
