A laundry treatment apparatus including a front panel with an inclined front surface and an opening for the introduction and removal of laundry located on the inclined surface, a door rotatably mounted to the inclined front surface to open or close the opening, and a damper module between the front panel and the door to apply torque to the door in a direction opposite to a rotating direction of the door when the door is rotated due to self-load (or self-weight) of the door. The damper module applies torque to the door in a direction opposite to a rotating direction of the door when an angle between the front panel and the door is within a range of a prescribed angle, preventing the door from being open or closed due to self-load (or self-weight) of the door, enhancing user convenience.
