Abstract
An indoor unit of an air-conditioning apparatus includes a wind direction vane, a vane motor, an air passage wall, and a shaft joint member. Between a vane shaft and the air passage wall, an annular gap is provided. The shaft joint member includes a flange portion between the air passage wall and the vane motor. The flange portion radially extends outward from a center, thereby causing air that flows toward the vane motor through the annular gap to be diffused outward relative to a direction toward the vane motor.
