A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a drum, a base, and a motor. The base is disposed under the drum and guides air circulating to the drum. The base includes an air circulating channel, a heat exchanger, a water collector body, a cleaning water channel, a pump, and a channel switching valve. The channel switching valve is connected to the pump and receives water from the pump and delivers the water to the cleaning water channel. The channel switching valve includes a water receiving portion connected to the pump and a connective portion connected to the water receiving portion and coupled to the air circulating channel to deliver the water to the cleaning water channel. The connective portion is disposed at a side of the air circulating channel. At least a portion of the connective portion is positioned lower than a top surface of the air circulating channel.

Laundry treating apparatus

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 laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a drum, a motor disposed at a rear of the drum, and a base that is disposed below the drum and defines a space configured to guide air circulating to the drum. The base includes an air circulating channel, a heat exchanger, a water collector body, a cleaning water channel, a pump, a channel switching valve, and a nozzle cover. The channel switching valve is connected to the pump and receives water from the pump and delivers the water to the cleaning water channel. The nozzle cover covers the cleaning water channel. The channel switching valve is coupled to the nozzle cover. The channel switching valve includes a water receiving portion connected to the pump and a connective portion connected to the water receiving portion. The connective portion is integrally formed with the nozzle cover to avoid leak of water.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a drum, a base, a motor, a supply duct, a heat exchange unit, a duct cover, duct sealing unit, and sealing mount part. The base includes the supply duct in fluid communication with the drum, the heat exchange unit provided in the supply duct and including first and second heat exchangers, the duct cover coupled to an upper portion of the supply duct and covering the first and second heat exchangers, the duct sealing unit disposed between the supply duct and the duct cover and configured to block air in the supply duct from leaking, and the sealing mount part provided on a surface of the duct cover and configured to receive the duct sealing unit. The sealing mount part includes first and second sealing mount parts that are in fluid communication with each other and integrally provided as one body.
