Summary:A disclosed washing machine includes a cabinet, a tub arranged inside the cabinet, and a detergent dispensing device configured to supply detergent to the tub. The detergent dispensing device includes a detergent container, and a detergent pump which can be docked with the detergent container. The detergent pump comprises: a first case which includes a sensing member of which at least a portion is located inside the detergent container, an intake part formed to allow detergent to be drawn from the detergent container, and a discharge part formed to allow the detergent drawn through the intake part to be discharged; a second case which can be coupled to the first case and has a terminal capable of being electrically connected to the sensing member; and a pumping device which is configured to inhale detergent through the intake part and discharge the detergent through the discharge part. Therefore, the washing machine can reduce the number of components needed to detect the remaining amount of detergent in the detergent container, thereby reducing material costs. 개시된 세탁기는 캐비닛, 상기 캐비닛의 내부에 배치되는 터브, 및 상기 터브에 세제를 공급하도록 구성되는 세제 공급 장치를 포함하고, 상기 세제 공급 장치는 세제함, 및 상기 세제함에 도킹 가능하게 마련되는 세제펌프를 포함하며, 상기 세제펌프는 적어도 일 부분이 상기 세제함의 내부에 위치하도록 마련되는 감지부재, 상기 세제함으로부터 세제가 유입되도록 형성되는 흡입부, 및 상기 흡입부를 통해 유입되는 세제가 배출되도록 형성되는 배출부를 포함하는 제1 케이스, 상기 제1 케이스에 결합 가능한 제2 케이스로서, 상기 감지부재와 전기적으로 연결 가능한 터미널이 마련되는 제2 케이스, 및 상기 흡입부를 통해 세제를 흡입하여 상기 배출부를 통해 배출하도록 구성되는 펌핑장치를 포함한다.
