Drum type washing machine

This invention relates to a drum washing machine in which the peripheral surface of a drum is provide with an open portion for inputting clothes wash and can stops the drum quickly when the drum is in rotating condition and provides an action for fixing a position. First, for stops the drum, a rotor is spinning according to a driving manner using an attraction and a rejection of the magnetic of the rotor and a stator provided in a drum motor, if a magnet (230b) arranged in the rotor (202) has obtained a detecting signal (B) which represents a locking position through a Hale IC substrate (203a) then switching to a driving manner using the attraction of the magnetism of the stator and the rotor to temporally stops (C) the rotor (202). Then, reversely rotates the rotor (202) slowly by bits, if the above-mentioned signal is obtained then projects a locking pin from a drum locking driving portion (21) to locks (D) which with a sink portion (22) to lock the drum tight.
