Abstract
A dishwasher comprising a tub; a drain port including a port body, a first port coupling portion extending along an edge of an outer circumferential surface of the port body, and a second port coupling portion extending along an edge of an outer circumferential surface of the port body, the second port coupling portion having a length longer than a length of the first port coupling portion; and a drain pump, to be coupleable to and decouplable from the drain port. The drain pump includes: a first pump coupling portion to allow the drain pump to couple to and decouple from the first port coupling portion; a second pump coupling portion to allow the drain pump to couple to and decouple from the second port coupling portion; and an interfering rib to interfere with the second port coupling portion to thereby prevent the first pump coupling portion from being coupled to the second port coupling portion or prevent the second pump coupling portion from being coupled to the first port coupling portion.
