Abstract:
1. A drum washing machine, comprising: a cabinet; a tub disposed at an inside of the cabinet; a drum rotatably disposed at an inside of the tub; a condensing duct configured to condense moisture in air that is introduced from an inside of the drum; and a drying duct configured to heat air being introduced from the condensing duct to supply the heated air to an inside of the drum, wherein the condensing duct is coupled to a rear of the tub, the drying duct is positioned at an upper portion of the condensing duct and is coupled to the cabinet, a buffer coupling member is positioned in between the condensing duct and the drying duct, the buffer coupling member being configured to mediate the condensing duct and the drying duct, the buffer coupling member is composed of a pipe-shaped hose having an overall decreasing diameter in an upward direction whereby a cross sectional area of the buffer member connected to the condensing duct is greater than a cross sectional area of the buffer coupling member connected to the drying duct.
