摘要： A laundry treating apparatus includes a duct system including an air discharge duct for discharging air inside the drum to an outside of the drum, an air supply duct for supplying air to the drum, and a connection duct for connecting the air discharge duct and the air supply duct to each other. The apparatus also includes a heat-absorber disposed inside the connection duct to remove moisture from air, and a heat-emitter disposed inside the connection duct to heat air passing through the heat-absorber. The apparatus further includes a water ejector disposed in the duct system and defining a water flow path for supplying water to the heat-absorber to remove foreign substances remaining on the heat-absorber.
