Abstract (en)

A detergent supply apparatus (20) for a washing machine, which prevents water, which is not discharged from a detergent tub (30) through a siphon unit (50), from overflowing the detergent tub (30) and being discharged to the outside of the washing machine. The siphon unit (50) includes a siphon pipe (51) formed on a bottom (34) of a chamber (38) of the detergent supply apparatus (20), and a cover member (60) installed above the siphon pipe (51). The cover member (60) includes a siphon cap (70) surrounding an outer circumferential surface of the siphon pipe (51) so that a siphon channel (52) is provided between the siphon pipe (51) and the siphon cap (70), and a bypass channel (64) for circulating water overflowing the siphon channel (52) to the siphon channel (52).
