Abstract
A nozzle assembly and a dishwasher having the same. The dishwasher includes a main body, a wash tub, and at least one first nozzle assembly to wash the objects received in the wash tub. The first nozzle assembly includes a main nozzle configured to be rotatable about a rotation axis thereof, plural injection holes, a first flow path defined in the main nozzle for movement of wash water to be sprayed out toward the objects, a sub nozzle provided at the main nozzle, the sub nozzle internally defining a second flow path for movement of wash water to be sprayed out in a radial direction of the main nozzle, and a valve coupled to the main nozzle to open or close the second flow path. Providing the nozzle assembly with the first and second flow paths independent of each other may reduce noise due to collision of wash water.
