Abstract: A clothes-washing machine comparable to those of the automatic type, which incorporates a device for the formation and circulation of an induced airflow in order to effectuate the drying of clothes which are present in the drum of the machine. The device comprises a single resistor for carrying out the functions of heating the washing water and heating the air for drying, so as to result in a simplification in the structure and composition of the machine. Similarly, a motor which actuates a turbine for producing the induced flow of drying air is the same motor which, at the appropriate operating stage drives the water-circulating pump, also in this manner, to simplify the structure of the machine.
