The drain pipe passes through a first portion of the rear plate from an interior of the cabinet to an exterior of the cabinet, extends along a rear side of the rear plate at the exterior of the cabinet, and is inserted through a second portion of the rear plate from the exterior of the cabinet to the interior of the cabinet.

Laundry treating apparatus

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a drum rotatably provided in the cabinet, a base disposed below the drum, a motor configured to provide power to rotate the drum, a heat exchange unit including a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, and a compressor, and a control box including a blower fan and a printed circuit board configured to control operation of the motor, the compressor or the blower fan and to supply power. The motor is disposed behind the drum so as to be separated from and spaced apart from the base, and the base includes a circulation flow path formed on one side of the base, and a control box installation space provided on a remaining side of the base in a lateral direction of a flow path and configured such that the control box is mounted in the control box installation space.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a drum, the base, and a motor. The base is disposed under the drum to provide a space in which air inside the drum circulates. The motor is disposed in rear of the drum and disposed spaced apart from the base, and provides power to rotate the drum. The base includes an air circulating channel, a heat exchanger, a water collector body, a pump, a cleaning water channel, and a nozzle cover. The cleaning water channel is disposed on a top face of the air circulating channel, and receives water from the pump, and discharges the received water to the first heat exchanger. The nozzle cover is coupled to the top face of the circulating channel so as to shield the cleaning water channel.

A clothes processing apparatus includes a body including a front panel having a clothes inlet and a clothes accommodation unit for accommodating clothes introduced through the clothes inlet, an outer frame including a door rotatably installed on the front panel so as to open and close the clothes inlet, a front glass attached to the front surface of the outer frame so as to cover an opening; an inner frame coupled to the rear surface of the outer frame and oriented to face the inside of the body, and a mounting guide protruding from the outer circumferential portion of the outer frame so as to surround the outer circumferential surface of the front glass. The mounting guide has an inner circumferential surface disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the front glass with a clearance therebetween, to protect the outer circumferential surface of the front glass from an external impact.

Clothes processing apparatus

A laundry treating apparatus incudes a first treating apparatus, a second treating apparatus that is disposed vertically below the first treating apparatus and supports the first treating apparatus, and an insulating portion that connects the first treating apparatus and the second treating apparatus to each other. The first treating apparatus includes a first cabinet that defines an external appearance of the first treating apparatus, and a first drum disposed inside the first cabinet and configured to accommodate laundry therein. The second treating apparatus includes a second cabinet that defines an external appearance of the second treating apparatus, and a second drum disposed inside the second cabinet and configured to accommodate laundry therein. The insulating portion includes an insulating material and electrically insulates the first treating apparatus and the second treating apparatus from each other.

A laundry treating apparatus is disclosed. The laundry treating apparatus includes a first treating apparatus having a first front panel disposed on a front face thereof, a second treating apparatus disposed beneath the first treating apparatus to support the first treating apparatus, wherein the second treating apparatus has a second front panel disposed on a front face thereof, and a control panel disposed between the first front panel and the second front panel, wherein the control panel is signally connected to the first treating apparatus and the second treating apparatus, wherein the control panel has a top face facing toward the first front panel. A drain passage extending along a lateral direction is defined in the top face, so that water delivered to the top face flows in the lateral direction along the drain passage and is drained.

A laundry treating apparatus is disclosed. The laundry treating apparatus includes a first treating apparatus, a second treating apparatus, and a control panel disposed signally connected to the first treating apparatus and the second treating apparatus, and the first treating apparatus includes a lower frame disposed rearward of the control panel and coupled to the control panel to fix the control panel.

A laundry treating apparatus is disclosed. The laundry treating apparatus includes a first treating apparatus having a first front panel disposed on a front face thereof, first side panels respectively disposed on both lateral sides in a lateral direction thereof, and a first drum disposed therein for accommodating laundry therein, and a second treating apparatus disposed beneath the first treating apparatus to support the first treating apparatus, wherein the second treating apparatus has a second front panel disposed on a front face thereof, second side panels respectively disposed on both side faces in the left and right direction thereof, and a second drum disposed therein for accommodating the laundry therein. An upper end of the second front panel is located at a vertical level higher than a vertical level of upper ends of the second side panels to rearwardly support lower portions of the first side panels.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet including a front panel having a detergent opening defined therein; a tub disposed inside the cabinet; a drum rotatably disposed inside the tub; and a detergent storage unit retracting into the cabinet through the detergent opening. A detergent to be supplied to the drum is stored in the detergent storage unit. The front panel has an opening extension portion extending from a periphery of the detergent opening toward an inside of the cabinet. The apparatus further includes a protective casing disposed inside the cabinet and coupled to the opening extension portion. The protective casing surrounds at least a portion of the detergent storage unit retracting into the cabinet through the detergent opening. The protective casing includes an opening protection wall constructed to cover an inner face of the opening extension portion facing toward the detergent opening to protect the opening extension portion.

A stack-type laundry treating apparatus includes upper and lower treating apparatuses. The upper treating apparatus includes an upper cabinet, a drying drum configured to receive an object to be dried, an upper driver for rotating the drying drum, and an air flow path for supplying and discharging air to and from the drying drum. The upper cabinet includes an upper front panel defining a front face of the upper cabinet, upper side panels respectively defining both side faces of the upper cabinet, a decoration panel coupled to a top of the upper front panel, and an upper top panel contacting the decoration panel such that movement of the upper top panel is limited by the decoration panel. The upper top panel is coupled to the upper side panels.

Stack-type laundry treating apparatus

An assembly method of a laundry treating apparatus includes a first step of positioning a second treating apparatus in a desired place for assembly, a second step of seating a first treating apparatus on the second treating apparatus, a third step of coupling a upper fastening unit of the second treating apparatus with a lower portion of the first treating apparatus, and a fourth step of coupling a control panel onto a panel seating portion provided between a lower surface of a first front panel of the first treating apparatus and an upper surface of the second front panel of the second treating apparatus. The upper fastening unit may be positioned to be higher than a lower surface of the first treating apparatus after the second step is performed.

Laundry treating apparatus and assembly method of the same

A laundry treating apparatus may include a main body having a front panel having a laundry inlet port and configured to receive laundry loaded through the laundry inlet port, and a door rotatably coupled to the front panel to open and close the laundry inlet port.
