         2 . The dishwasher as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein
 the second GUI includes at least one icon corresponding to a dish loading space and a dish loading position, and   the one or more processors are configured to execute the at least one instruction to:
 control the display to provide an animation effect that alternately displays the at least one icon at a first location and at a second location spaced apart from the first location by a preset distance on the display. 
   
     
     
         3 . The dishwasher as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein
 the second GUI includes at least one icon corresponding to a dish loading space and a dish loading position, and   the one or more processors are configured to execute the at least one instruction to:
 control the display to display an icon corresponding to the dish loading space in a first color and display an icon corresponding to the dish loading position in a second color that is different from the first color. 
   
     
     
         4 . The dishwasher as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein
 the second GUI includes at least one icon corresponding to a dish loading space and a dish loading position, and   the one or more processors are configured to execute the at least one instruction to:
 control the display to provide an animation effect in which an icon corresponding to the dish loading position flashes at a preset time interval. 
   
     
     
         5 . The dishwasher as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the at least one instruction to:
 based on a user input for selecting a dishwashing course being received through the user interface, identify whether a number of uses of the selected dishwashing course is less than a preset value, and   based on identifying that the number of uses is less than a preset value, control the display to display the second GUI including an animation effect that indicates a dish loading space and a dish loading position corresponding to the selected dishwashing course and text guiding the dish loading position and a dish loading method.   
     
     
         6 . The dishwasher as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the at least one instruction to:
 based on identifying that the number of uses is equal to or greater than a preset value, perform a dishwashing operation based on the selected dishwashing course without displaying the second GUI and the text.   
     
     
         7 . The dishwasher as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the at least one instruction to:
 based on a door of the dishwasher being closed, control the display to display information that a dishwashing operation is performed, and   based on a door of the dishwasher being closed, perform a dishwashing operation.   
     
     
         8 . A controlling method of a dishwasher, the controlling method comprising:
 based on the dishwasher being turned on, controlling a display to display a first GUI corresponding to at least one dishwashing course;   based on a user input for selecting a dishwashing course being received through a user interface, controlling the display to display a second GUI including an animation effect that indicates dish loading information corresponding to the selected dishwashing course; and   based on a dishwashing operation being started based on the selected dishwashing course, controlling the display to display a third GUI indicating the dishwashing course and dishwashing time.   
     
     
         9 . The controlling method as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein
 the second GUI includes at least one icon corresponding to a dish loading space and a dish loading position, and   the controlling method further comprises:
 controlling the display to provide an animation effect that alternately displays the at least one icon at a first location and at a second location spaced apart from the first location by a preset distance on the display. 
   
     
     
         10 . The controlling method as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein
 the second GUI includes at least one icon corresponding to a dish loading space and a dish loading position, and   the controlling method further comprises:
 controlling the display to display an icon corresponding to the dish loading space in a first color and display an icon corresponding to the dish loading position in a second color that is different from the first color. 
   
     
     
         11 . The controlling method as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein
 the second GUI includes at least one icon corresponding to a dish loading space and a dish loading position, and   the controlling method further comprises:
 controlling the display to provide an animation effect in which an icon corresponding to the dish loading position flashes at a preset time interval. 
   
     
     
         12 . The controlling method as claimed in  claim 8 , further comprising:
 based on a user input for selecting a dishwashing course being received through the user interface, identifying whether a number of uses of the selected dishwashing course is less than a preset value; and   based on identifying that the number of uses is less than a preset value, controlling the display to display the second GUI including an animation effect that indicates a dish loading space and a dish loading position corresponding to the selected dishwashing course and text guiding the dish loading position and a dish loading method.   
     
     
         13 . The controlling method as claimed in  claim 12 , further comprising:
 based on identifying that the number of uses is equal to or greater than a preset value, performing a dishwashing operation based on the selected dishwashing course without displaying the second GUI and the text.   
     
     
         14 . The controlling method as claimed in  claim 8 , further comprising:

         15 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing at least one computer instruction that, when executed by one or more processors of a dishwasher, cause the dishwasher to:
 based on the dishwasher being turned on, controlling a display to display a first GUI corresponding to at least one dishwashing course;   based on a user input for selecting a dishwashing course being received through a user interface, controlling the display to display a second GUI including an animation effect that indicates dish loading information corresponding to the selected dishwashing course; and   based on a dishwashing operation being started based on the selected dishwashing course, controlling the display to display a third GUI indicating the dishwashing course and dishwashing time.
