WASHING AND DRYING MACHINE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively prevent foam from contacting a drying function means even if the foam in a tub gets out to a circulating air duct side and prevent drying efficiency from getting impaired. SOLUTION: A foam discharge passage 37 is provided above the drying function means such as a blower 27 arranged in the lower portion of the interior of an enclosure 1 in the lower portion of the interior of an intake air duct 25 connected to the intake air port 10 of the tub 7 in the circulating air duct 26 to circulate air in the tub 7. The foam discharge passage 37 is connected to a drainpipe 13 through a connecting pipe. Even if foams generated in the tub 7 during washing gets out to the intake air duct 25 from the intake air port 10, the foam flows down along the inner wall of the intake air duct 25 and is discharged to the drainpipe 13 side through the foam discharge passage 37.
