Abstract
Provided is an automatic washing machine of which the washing, the water draining, and the rinsing operations are automatically controlled by an electric control circuit including an electric timer, arithmetic-operation processor circuit and memory. The machine includes a degree-of-rinse detecting unit which detects the degree of rinse involved and, when this degree has reached a specified value, supplies an output signal to the arithmetic-operation processor circuit to carry out a short overflow rinsing step thus to complete this rinsing operation.
