Abstract

Disclosed is a washing machine from which a diaphragm is removed. The washing machine includes a cabinet, a front panel configured to form an appearance of a front surface of the cabinet, a tub disposed in the cabinet to contain wash water, a tub seal installed to prevent leakage of the wash water contained in the tub, and a decorative panel fixed to the front panel to prevent exposure of the tub seal through the front surface of the cabinet. The washing machine may have an attractive appearance appealing to a user by mounting the decorative panel to prevent exposure of a sealing structure through the front surface thereof.
