A structure for preventing a siphon operation of a washing machine includes a cabinet, a tub(10), a drum(11), a motor, a door, and a siphon preventing unit. The cabinet forms external appearance. The tub is installed inside of the cabinet. The drum is installed inside of the tub and the laundry is inputted to the drum for a washing operation of the laundry. The motor rotates the drum reversely and directly by applying the power. The door is connected to the cabinet to open and close the front of the drum.
