Abstract (en)
The present invention relates to a laundry treatment apparatus and, more particularly, to a laundry treatment apparatus for directly heating a drum accommodating clothes. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, provided is a laundry treatment apparatus comprising: a tub; a drum rotatably disposed inside the tub for receiving laundry therein, wherein the drum is made of a metal material; and an induction module disposed on the tub to be spaced from a circumferential surface of the drum for generating an electromagnetic field to heat the circumferential surface of the drum, wherein the induction module is characterized by: a coil formed of wires, wherein the coil generates a magnetic field when an electric current is applied thereto, and, a base housing mounted on an outer circumferential face of the tub, the base housing comprises fixing ribs that protrude upward from a bottom surface of the base housing and that define coil slots configured to receive the wires, wherein the coil has a track shape with a long axis extending in a front-rear direction of the drum.
