    Abstract: The washing machine includes a cabinet, a drum installed inside the cabinet, and a fan assembly to guide heated air into the drum. A fan assembly includes a shroud provided with an air inlet hole, a hub rotated by a driving motor, a plurality of blades provided along a circumferential direction of the hub to guide the air introduced through the air inlet hole in the circumferential direction of the hub, and a scroll guiding the air guided in the circumferential direction of the hub into the drum. A partition wall prevents the air guided in the circumferential direction of the hub from being re-introduced into the air inlet hole. The blade includes a shroud contact portion in contact with the shroud and a hub contact portion in contact with the hub. An inflection point is formed between the shroud contact portion and the hub contact portion.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a washing machine including an air-stream guide configured to guide a rotating air-stream generated by rotation of the drum toward the spray opening. The washing machine having the circulation apparatus can prevent water or bubbles remaining in the tub and the pump room from flowing into the inside of the drum along the circulation path of the circulation apparatus, due to a pressure difference made between the center area and the outer area of the tub during spin-drying in which the drum rotates at high speed.

    Abstract: Provided is a washing machine having an improved structure for efficiently controlling a distribution of washing water to improve washing performance. The washing machine includes a tub, a rotary tub rotatably provided inside of the tub, a tub cover coupled to the tub to prevent washing water from overflowing the tub, and a plurality of guide units formed on a bottom surface of the tub cover to guide the washing water into the inside of the rotary tub. The plurality of guide units includes a first guide having an outer end spaced from an edge of the tub cover in an inward direction of the tub cover, a second guide having an outer end spaced from the edge of the tub cover in the inward direction of the tub cover, and disposed to be spaced apart from the first guide in a circumferential direction of the tub cover, and a third guide connecting the outer end of the first guide and the outer end of the second guide.
