Abstract
A washing machine includes a cabinet having an opening, a door to open and close the opening, and a locking unit to selectively restrict an operation of the door when the door is closed. A position of the door is adjusted through this configuration to stably close the opening and to prevent the door from being undesirably opened, and thus it is possible to improve washing efficiency. Further, a front structure of the opening may be improved, and thus laundry may be easily put in or taken out.
