PURPOSE:To always supply heated air from the bottom of clothes so as to improve heat exchange efficiency with the wet clothes by forming a drum internal cylinder part into a double wall of internal peripheral and peripheral cylinder parts, providing a blower hole in the internal peripheral cylinder part and a ventilating hole in a drum rear plate side, cocurrently providing a heater in a fan casing and supplying heated air into a drum. CONSTITUTION:A drum side fan sucks air in a drum 3 from a suction port 15 to be heated by a heater 19 and again fed from a blow port 14 to the drum 3 from a blower hole 8 in an internal peripheral cylinder part 7 via a ventilating hole 9 of the drum 3. An opposite drum side fan sucks air in a chamber by an outside air inflow port 21 to be discharged to the outside of an outer frame 1 from a delivery port 22 performing a heat exchange with hot air in an opposite side in a blade part 17 of a fan 12. While by an inflow of hot and cool air to both sides of the corrugated blade part 17 of the fan 12, a hot air side is cooled, and steam, contained in hot air, is dewed to water discharged from a discharge port 26. Because the heated air is supplied from the bottom of the drum, the heated air is blown in a manner always from the bottom of the stirred clothes, and because the clothes are uniformly heated, heat exchange efficiency with the clothes can be improved.
