Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2977499A1] The present invention relates to a laundry washing machine (1) comprising: a cabinet (2) containing a washing tub (3), in which washing liquid may be loaded; a rotatable drum (4), rotatably accommodated in the washing tub (3) for containing the laundry to be washed; a water load system (5) for conveying washing water into the washing tub (3); and a discharge system (6) for discharging waste washing liquid outside the laundry washing machine (1). Furthermore, the discharge system comprises a filter unit (7) which comprises: a filter receiving body (8), positioned inside the cabinet (2) and accessible via a filter opening (9) provided in the cabinet (2); a filter element (10) removably positioned into the filter receiving body (8); a removable closing element (11) for selectively closing the filter opening (9), so as to selectively allowing or impeding the access to the filter receiving body (8). The laundry washing machine further comprises a flexible connecting device (12) connecting the removable closing element (11) to a portion of the laundry washing machine (1). The flexible connecting device (12) allows the removable closing element (11) to be always connected to a portion of the laundry washing machine (1). Thus, the risk that such a removable closing element (11) may be lost or moved away from the laundry washing machine (1), when it is temporarily removed for allowing the removal/insertion of the filter element (10), is eliminated.
