Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a washing machine with a drying function, capable of performing a washing program and a drying program. The machine comprises a cabinet (1), a tub (9) in the cabinet and a door (3), through which access to the tub interior can be achieved, and further an air evacuation chamber (37) which comprises an upper section (59) and a lower section (57), wherein the upper section is connected to the tub in order to allow an air flow from the tub to the upper section, and the upper section is connected to the lower section at a connection point which is higher than the maximum water level during the washing program, such that air can flow to the lower section during the drying program while water is prevented from flowing from the tub to the lower section during the washing program. This allows the lower part to contain parts of the drying system that are to be kept dry, which allows a more compact machine to be built.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a washing machine with a drying function, capable of performing a washing program and a drying program, comprising a cabinet (1), a tub (9) in the cabinet, a water inlet (11) for feeding water to the tub during the washing program, the water inlet being connected to an anti-siphoning device (27), and a water trap (29) placed in the connection between the water inlet (11) and the anti-siphoning device.

Abstract: A laundry washing or drying machine having an outer drum (11) and an inner drum (12). The inner drum is rotatably disposed in the outer drum (11) and adapted to support laundry items to be treated in the machine. At one gable (16), the inner drum (12) is connected with a pulley (18) adapted to be drivingly connected to a corresponding drive pulley driven by an electric motor. Further, at one or at both gables, the inner drum (16) is provided with a shaft (17) journalled in a seat disposed adjacent to an opening (22) in a corresponding gable (15) of the outer drum (11). The shaft (17) is formed by one of a pressing (90) made in the associated inner drum gable (16), a pressing (71) made in the central part of the pulley (18), or joint pressings (50, 51) made in the inner drum gable (16) and in the pulley (18). The seat is formed by a central cantilevering (21; 53) in the corresponding gable (15) of the outer drum. The cantilevering (21; 53) is directed toward the inner drum (16) and defines the opening.
