In the washing process, laundry is put in the drum 4, washing water in which detergent is dissolved is poured from above, and the laundry in the drum 4 is drumed by a centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the drum 4 and a baffle (not shown). After being lifted to the vicinity of the top in 4, it falls (tumbles) due to its own weight. By repeating this tumbling, the laundry is washed by the impact force at the time of falling. In addition, rinsing is similarly performed by repeating tumbling.

The amount of washing water in the water tank 2 during the washing process is about 5 to 10 liters, and the water level of the washing water is about halfway between the center and the lower end of the door 17. Therefore, if you press the Pause key to put in or take out the laundry during the washing or rinsing process, most of the washing water in the water tank 2 will be drained so that the washing water (including rinsing water) will not spill out of the machine. After that, the door 17 for opening and closing is unlocked.
The amount of water used in the final stage of the washing process or the rinsing process is generally larger than that in the washing process.

In the conventional drum-type dry washing machine, the washing water in the water tank 2 (including rinsing water) is used when the washing and rinsing process is temporarily stopped and the laundry is put in and out. Since almost all of the water is discharged, it takes time until the opening / closing door 17 can be opened, and the opening / closing door 17 cannot be opened immediately after a temporary stop, resulting in poor efficiency. Furthermore, when the wash and rinse steps are continued, it is necessary to replenish the wash water again, which is a waste of the wash water. Further, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-35091, there is a device that permits opening and closing of the opening / closing door only when it is detected that the water level of the washing water in the water tank is lower than that of the opening / closing door. In this case, usually, when a proper amount of washing water is stored in the water tank in the washing process, opening / closing of the opening / closing door is often not allowed.
