    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.

    Abstract: A washing machine having a balancer housing capable of transmitting electric power from an external power source to a balancing module. The washing machine includes a rotary drum, and a balancer to counterbalance an unbalanced load generated in the rotary drum. The balancer includes a balancer housing mounted to the rotary drum, and a balancing module having a moving unit to move inside the balancer housing. The balancer housing includes an electrode provided at an inner surface of the balancer housing in a circumferential direction thereof in order to transmit electric power to the moving unit of the balancing module, an electric wire electrically connected to the electrode in order to apply electric power from an external power source to the electrode, and a connector provided at an outer surface of the balancer housing in order to electrically connect the electric wire and the electrode.
