Abstract
The present disclosure reduces sound generated when a driving mode of a drum washing machine having a rotating body on a rear part of a drum is switched between a first mode and a second mode. The first mode is a driving mode in which the drum and the rotating body independently rotate, and the second mode is a driving mode in which the drum and the rotating body integrally rotate. A bearing-side cushioning member is arranged on a clutch carrying plate side. The bearing-side cushioning member firstly touches an object side when a spline of a clutch body is engaged with a spline of the clutch carrying plate, so as to reduce an impact force generated between the clutch body and the clutch carrying plate.
