Abstract
A washing machine includes a plurality of suspension units through which a tub is supported by a cabinet, and a stabilizer unit mounted to the tub. When horizontal vibration displacement of the tub occurs by unbalance mass during washing/dehydration processes, the washing machine limits tub displacement according to the attenuation effect caused by torsional force and bending force of the stabilizer unit, resulting in reduction of excessive vibration.
