Benefits of technology

[0009]To solve the aforementioned problems, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a drum type washing machine comprising. a circulation hose for circulating water stored in a tub therein; and an odor removing hose diverged from the circulation hose so as to remove a pollutant remaining in a gasket by ejecting water.
[0051]Accordingly, it is capable of preventing the pollutant from being rotted, thereby preventing being smelly in the drum type washing machine. Further, it is capable of preventing the pollutant from feeding mold in the humid drum type washing machine, thereby preventing being smelly therein due to the mold.

Problems solved by technology

The pollutant is rotted and thus causes odor.
And, in the humid drum type washing machine, the pollutant feed mold, and this mold also causes odor.
