Dishwasher

Abstract

Provided is a dishwasher configured such that a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, an evaporator, a refrigerant pipe, etc. constituting a heat pump system are arranged in a distributed manner and are disposed at positions as close as possible to an edge wall of a base, and the compressor, the condenser, and the evaporator having relatively large volumes are positioned such that a horizontal overlapping amount therebetween may be minimized, such that a user can easily access the components accommodated in the base through an open area of the base, and thus can easily perform a maintenance process not only on the components of the heat pump system but also on existing components such as a washing pump, a water softener device, etc. without removing a tub from the base.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
