Abstract:
A laundry treatment apparatus includes a cabinet defining an external appearance of the apparatus and a base, a drum rotatably provided in the cabinet, a driver provided in the base to rotate the drum, a duct fastened to the base to form a circulation passage communicating with the drum, a heat pump having a heat exchanger provided in the circulation passage to heat air, and a discharge unit to discharge water generated by the heat exchanger. The base includes a water collection chamber that is configured to collect the water generated by the heat exchanger and has discharge surfaces having different inclined angles, thereby guiding flow of condensate water, and a discharge hole that is located adjacent to the water collection chamber and configured to communicate with the water collection chamber such that water guided by the at least one discharge surface is discharged through the discharge unit.
