A drum washer-drier includes a drum rotating about a horizontal rotary axis, a water tank including a drum, and an outer tank resiliently supporting the water tank. A plurality of suspending rods are suspended from an upper inner surface of the outer tank, and the water tank is resiliently supported by providing compression springs between spring-receiving portions at lower ends of suspending rods and support-receiving portions of the water tank. Further, a damper generating a sliding resistance as the spring is expanded/compressed is provided at the lower end portion of each suspending rod. At the time of dehydration, the drum is rotated for a prescribed time period at a rotation speed higher than a critical rotation speed of a fluid balancer, but lower than a resonance rotation speed caused by resilient support, and thereafter high-speed rotation starts. A structure for protecting the fluid balancer formed of synthetic resin during drying is also disclosed.
