A heat pump for a dishwasher includes an upper shell (10) defining an upper chamber (100) therein, a heating pipe (20) disposed in the upper chamber (100), a lower shell (30) defining a lower chamber (300) therein and detachably connected with the upper shell (10), an impeller (40) disposed in the lower chamber (300), and a flowing guide (50) disposed in the upper chamber (100) and adjacent to the heating pipe (20). The upper shell (10) includes an inlet (101) disposed in an upper end surface thereof and communicated with the upper chamber (100). A dishwasher including the heat pump is also provided. With a guiding effect of the flowing guide (50), the stream may contact with the heating pipe (20) and perform a complete heat exchange with the heating pipe (20), thus enhancing the heat exchanging efficiency of the heating pipe (20) and totally improving the heating efficiency of the heat pump.
