Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1544341A2] Disclosed herein is a washing machine with drying function. The washing machine with drying function comprises a drying duct (86). The drying duct (86) communicates with a condensing duct (80). The drying duct (86) also communicates with a tub (60). Consequently, hot wind, heated while passing through the drying duct (86), is directly supplied into the tub (60). According to the present invention, flow and heat loss of the hot wind is minimized, and thus, the drying performance of the washing machine with drying function is improved.
