Claim 9:
10. A dryer comprising:
a drum comprising:
a drum body that defines a space configured to receive clothes,
a front cover that defines a front surface of the drum body, the front cover defining a drum inlet in communication with the space of the drum body, and
a rear cover that defines a rear surface of the drum body, the rear cover defining an air inlet;

a fixing panel spaced apart from the rear cover of the drum;
a motor comprising a stator fixed to the fixing panel and a rotor configured to rotate relative to the stator, the motor being configured to rotate the drum based on the rotor rotating relative to the stator, wherein the fixing panel further defines a plurality of supply holes arranged along an outer circumferential surface of the motor and configured to guide air to the air inlet;
a supply duct that is fixed to the fixing panel, the supply duct defining an accommodating space that accommodates the motor and a cooling passage that extends outward from the accommodating space, the cooling passage being configured to discharge air to an outside the supply duct; and
a duct cover that covers the accommodating space and the cooling passage, the duct cover being configured to guide air between the accommodating space and the cooling passage,
wherein the fixing panel defines a first cooling hole and a second cooling hole that are spaced apart from each other, and
wherein at least one of the first cooling hole or the second cooling hole is in fluid communication with an end of the cooling passage.
