Abstract
A laundry treatment apparatus includes a drum, a stator and a rotor configured to rotate the drum, a fixing panel that is spaced apart from the rear cover, that supports the stator, and that defines a panel exhaust port and a supply port, the supply port including a plurality of through-holes that pass through the fixing panel and surround the stator, and a duct body fixed to the fixing panel and configured to guide the air discharged from the panel exhaust port to the supply port. The plurality of through-holes include (i) first through-holes defined above a horizontal line passing through a center of the rotor and (ii) second through-holes defined below the horizontal line, where a number of the first through-holes is greater than a number of the second through-holes, or a total area of the first through-holes is greater than a total area of the second through-holes.
