Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a dishwasher in which dry air spraying from an airflow guide is evenly distributed into a tub not to concentrate heat energy of the dry air on a specific portion, thereby reducing a dry period for wash targets and improving drying efficiency, and effectively preventing deterioration in drying efficiency, which is caused by a change in the direction of a discharge opening when misassembly occurs. Here, the dishwasher comprises a tub (20) that defines a wash space configured to accommodate a wash target, the tub (20) having a front surface that is open; a dry air supply part (80) configured to generate dry air for drying the wash target and to supply the dry air into the wash space; a rack (51) configured to be inserted into and withdrawn from the wash space through the front surface of the tub (20), the rack (51) being configured to support the wash target; and an airflow guide (87) disposed between the rack (51) and a lower surface of the tub (20), the airflow guide (87) being configured to define a flow direction of the dry air and to spray the dry air into the wash space, wherein the airflow guide (87) is disposed rearward relative to the rack (51).

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a dishwasher (1) comprising: a tub (12) having a washing space (12S) therein; a door (14) disposed at a front side of the tub (12) and configured to open or close the washing space (12S); and a drying device (100) configured to dry the washing space (12S). The drying device (100) comprises: a condensing duct (1122) disposed outside the tub (12) and configured to communicate with an inlet port (HI) formed in the tub (12) and face an outer surface of the tub (12) and configured to extend inP a vertical direction and a first direction which intersects the vertical direction; and a fan configured to allow air in the condensing duct (1122) to flow. The condensing duct (1122) comprises: an upstream portion (1122A) configured to communicate with the inlet port (HI); and a downstream portion (1122C) configured to communicate with the upstream portion (1122A) and comprising a bent portion (BP) bent to descend and then ascend. A rib is formed inside the bent portion (BP), and the rib traverses the bent portion (BP) and protrudes in a second direction which intersects the vertical direction and the first direction. Accordingly drying performance is improved, a drying device is prevented from being broken down by water, and proliferation of bacteria or mold in a condensing duct is prevented.
