WASHING MACHINE WITH DRYING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

Provides are a washing machine including a drier, capable of reducing the amount of water used in a drying operation by using a thermoelectric module type circulation pump, and a control method thereof. The water supplied to a condensation duct in the drying operation is not discharged to the outside after being used and is circulated to the condensation duct by using the thermoelectric module type circulation pump. The circulated water is cooled so that the present invention can remarkably reduce the amount of the water used for condensing moisture and improve drying efficiency by improving condensation efficiency.
