In the front piece (11) an opening (19) is provided for a door (18) arranged to close an opening in a tub, said tub with a drum, rotatably journalled in the tub, and a drive motor for the drum forming an assembly (17) which is free-swingingly suspended in the cabinet by means of spring means and vibration damping means such that an annular gap (36) is formed around the door (18) between the cabinet (10) and the tub. Sound damping means are provided for reducing noise which escapes from the machine and which is generated by the machine when operating. The sound damping means comprises a sound trap of the labyrinth type (20,21,22,23; 25,26,27,28) disposed in the annular gap (36) around the door (18).
