Abstract: A washing machine including a bearing housing to rotatably support a shaft configured to drive the drum and insertable into the tub, the bearing housing including a stator coupling portion to which a stator of a drive motor configured to rotate the shaft is coupled, and a plurality of leg portions spaced apart along a circumferential direction of the stator coupling portion. The plurality of leg portions include a leg plate including a first end connected to the stator coupling portion and a second end formed to extend along a radial direction of the stator coupling portion from the first end, a connection portion provided to connect between adjacent first ends of the plurality of leg portions, a separation space formed between second ends of the plurality of leg portions, and an outer rib formed along an edge of the leg plate and the connection portion.
