A washing machine having a stator (40) mounted to a bearing housing (60). The stator (40) including a magnetic core (41) and upper (42) and lower (43) insulating members to cover upper and lower surfaces of the magnetic core, respectively. At least one of the upper (42) and lower (43) insulating members has a ring-shaped flange (45), which extends inward from the inner circumferential surface thereof. The flange (45) has a plurality of first mounting holes (46) and the bearing housing (60) has a plurality of second mounting holes (62) corresponding to the first mounting holes (46), respectively, whereby the stator (40) is bolted to the bearing housing (60). The flange (45) has a positioning protrusion (48) extending upward, and the bearing housing (60) has a positioning groove (63) formed at a rim thereof such that the positioning protrusion (48) is inserted into the positioning groove (63). The flange (45) is positioned at the bearing housing (60) while the first mounting holes (46) of the flange are aligned with the second mounting holes (62) of the bearing housing (60), respectively.
