ABSTRACT:
A gasket and washing machine having the same prevent laundry from becoming wedged between a drum and a gasket for preventing water leakage. The gasket is coupled between a cabinet of a drum-type washing machine including a drying duct for providing a drying function and a tub disposed inside the cabinet. The gasket includes an annular lip, protruding inwardly from an inner circumference of the gasket, for preventing foreign matter from entering a space existing between the tub and a rotating drum, and a laundry kicker, protruding inwardly from a predetermined portion of the annular lip, for dislodging laundry that has become wedged between the annular lip and the rotating drum.
