In this dishwasher 1, a spring 33 utilized for moving a door 7 up and down is accommodated within a column 6 of a washer body 2, so as to be confined within the column 6, whereby the appearance becomes better while the spring 33 is protected against water. Also, the space between left and right columns 6, 6 can be utilized as a washing chamber 3, thus making it possible to expand the washing chamber 3, whereby the dishwasher can be made smaller while keeping the capacity of the washing chamber 3.
