Abstract
A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a drum provided inside the cabinet and formed of a metal material, and an induction module configured to heat the drum, The induction module includes a base housing for accommodating a coil, and a cover housing forming a moving space of heat generated from the coil, jointed to an upper portion of the base housing, the cover housing includes a through portion for discharging the heat by passing through the cover housing up and down, and the cover housing forms a section upwardly inclined toward the through portion to move the heat generated from the coil along the inclined section and discharge the heat to the through portion. It is possible to prevent a temperature of the coil from being excessively increased, and enhance durability and efficiency of the induction module by active discharge of heat generated from the coil.
