A seal assembly (1) for a rotating drum (3) of a washing machine comprises: a rotating drum shaft (4), extending along an axis (A) and rotatable about the axis and arranged so as to pass through an aperture (5) in a wall (6) of the washing machine; a support member (10) for supporting the drum, fixed to the drum and integrally connected to the shaft so as to rotate the drum; and a seal element (11) to seal the aperture (5) in a fluid-tight manner; the seal element (11) has a pair of radial sealing lips (21, 22), arranged side by side along the axis (A) and both cooperating slidingly with a cylindrical sealing surface (23) arranged round the shaft (4), and at least one axial sealing lip (24), cooperating with a front sealing surface (25) carried by the support member (10) and substantially orthogonal to the axis (A). |
