摘要： A home appliance and a washing machine are provided. The home appliance includes a touch pad unit having a sensor to sense an external capacitance variation, a photo-etched member coupled to the touch pad unit and having a touch pad hole corresponding to the sensor, the photo-etched member having a pattern realized by photo-etching, and a transparent member coupled to the photo-etched member so as to define an external appearance of the photo-etched member and having an indicator to inform a user of a touch region, the indicator having an area smaller than that of the touch pad hole so as to be located in an interior region of the touch pad hole. The above described configuration advantageously prevents malfunction of the touch pad unit.
