ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a washing/drying machine which can upwardly blow heated air from a bottom of a spin tub to articles placed in the spin tub, thereby improving a drying effect. The washing/drying machine has a housing and an upper frame mounted on an upper portion of the housing. An outer tub for receiving a washing liquid is disposed in the housing. A spin tub, in which an article to be washed is placed, is accommodated in the outer tub. A pulsator for generating a liquid flow in the spin tub is mounted on a lower portion of the spin tub. An air guide, for guiding heated air towards a bottom wall of the outer tub, is attached to an inside wall of the upper frame. The air guide has a blower and a heater therein. A blowing fan is mounted on the lower portion of the spin tub so as to blow out the heated air towards the side wall of spin tub. An air guiding plate is disposed above the blowing fan so as to guide the heated air into the article in the spin tub. The washing/drying machine reduces an energy loss and improves the drying effect. The washing/drying machine generates a strong liquid flow in the spin tub, thereby improving the washing effect.
