WASHING AND DRYING MACHINE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To drain washing water and dew condensation water made by dehumidification of a washing and drying machine to the outside of the machine through a single drain pipe similarly to a washing machine by preventing the washing water from flowing back to a dehumidification means etc. through a dew condensation drainage. SOLUTION: A part of the dew condensation drainage 48 is arranged at a position higher than an overflow port 53 formed at a washing tub 26. Thus, even during draining the washing water or in occurrence of the abnormal rising of the water level of the washing water, the water level does not rise above the overflow port 53, and the washing water never flows back to each means such as the dehumidification means beyond this. Thus, both of the washing water and the dew condensation water are drained to the outside of the machine through the single drain pipe 49. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
