The invention relates to a planet wheel retainer of a clutch transmission device for a washing machine. The planet wheel retainer is provided with a retainer body, wherein a shaft hole is formed in the middle of the retainer body; a planet wheel shaft mounting hole and a supporting post are arranged at the periphery of the shaft hole; an engagement tooth profile is arranged on the outer ring of the retainer body; and an engagement tooth and the retainer body are integrally manufactured. In the invention, the engagement tooth is arranged on the outer side of the plant wheel retainer and can beengaged with other gear rings, and a planet gear can be locked together with inner and outer gear rings through the planet wheel retainer when necessary, so that a clutching effect is achieved; and parts such as a ratchet, a pawl and the like in the prior art can be eliminated, so that the planet wheel retainer has a simple structure, obviously-reduced volume, more accurate clutching actions and higher practicability.
