Abstract: A cabinet for a washing machine including a vibration-proof plate attached to the front panel to reduce vibrations. A recess is provided to the vibration-proof plate's lower part, and a recess is formed on the front panel's lower part corresponding to the recess of the plate. A plurality of screw holes are each provided to upper and lower ends of the respective vibration-proof plate and front panel, and the vibration-proof plate is screw attached to the front panel. The vibration-proof plate has a plurality of hooks that are provided on both sides of its inner surface, and the front panel has a plurality of mating hook holes that are provided on both sides thereof so that the vibration-proof plate is more firmly attached to the front panel. The overall vibration-proof plate is convex to the outside, and at least one vibration-absorbing member is attached to the inner surface of the vibration-proof plate, thus contacting the front panel.
