<p>A washing machine (100) comprising a washing tub (107) in which washing liquid may be loaded, a perforated drum (110) rotatably accommodated in the washing tub (107) for containing laundry to be washed, a discharge system (300, 310, 330) fluidly connected to the washing tub (107) and adapted to selectively discharge washing liquid from the washing tub (107) and a valve (330), placed between the washing tub (107) and the discharge system (300, 310, 330). Said valve (330) comprises a valve seat (350) through which liquid can pass from the washing tub (107) to the discharge system (300, 310, 330) and a closure member (340) movable with respect to the valve seat (350) from a closing position, in which said closure member (340) abuts against the valve seat (350), impeding the flow of washing liquid from the washing tub (107) to the discharge system (300, 310, 330), to an open position in which said closure member (340) is at least partially spaced apart from the valve seat (350), allowing the flow of washing liquid from the washing tub (107) to the discharge system (300, 310, 330). The washing machine (100) further comprises an air passage (410, 425; 510) fluidly connecting said discharge system (300, 310, 330) and said washing tub (107) for allowing the passage of at least air from the discharge system (300, 310, 330) to the washing tub (107) and an intercepting member (430) arranged to prevent a liquid flow exiting said air passage (410, 425; 510) from hitting said drum (110).</p> |
