Claim:
A washing machine having a damper-supporter, comprising: an outer case having a receiving space therein, the outer case including a base; a tub installed in the outer case; a damper having a first end directly coupled to the tub so as to perform a relative motion thereby to reduce the vibration of the tub; a plurality of legs for controlling a height of the outer case directly coupled to a lower portion of the base; and a damper-supporter supporting a second end of the damper, the damper-supporter comprising: a supporter having a long plate shape offset from the base by at least one mount member interposed between the supporter and the base, wherein the outer case is substantially isolated from vibrations of the supporter by the mount member; and a damper connection portion protruding from the supporter and coupled to the damper; wherein both ends of the supporter are directly coupled to the plurality of legs and the legs rest on a floor where the washing machine is laid so as to make the vibration of the supporter supported by the floor, wherein the mount member is formed of an elastic member so as to prevent vibration from being transmitted between the supporter and the base.
