Abstract: A method for controlling a dish washer includes: supplying washing water to a water storage unit; delivering washing water from the water storage unit to the washing tank; heating washing water in the sump by a first heat exchanger disposed in the sump; injecting heated washing water through an injection arm; recovering heat from heated washing water by the first heat exchanger and transferring heat to a second heat exchanger disposed in the water storage unit after completion of washing; and discharging washing water cooled by the first heat exchanger from the sump to an outside. The dish washer includes a heat pump system including the first heat exchanger, the second heat exchanger, an expansion apparatus, that expands refrigerant received from the first heat exchanger or the second heat exchanger, a compressor that compresses and circulates refrigerant received from the first heat exchanger or the second heat exchanger.
