To provide a washing/drying machine in which vibration and noise of a case are reduced.
The heat pump unit 40 is provided with a compactor 42 and is comprised of an evaporator 43 and a condenser 44 installed inside a unit duct 46. During the drying operation, the air heated by the condenser 44 is supplied to an air supply opening 32 from one end side of the unit duct 46, discharged from an exhaust opening 31 and returned to the unit duct 46 through a hot air returning duct 52, cooled and dehumidified by the evaporator 43, and heated again by the condenser 44. This process is repeated. The hot air returning duct 52 is fixed on the back side of a front surface 21a of the case 21 and a lint filter 56 is inserted and installed in a way that it can be inserted into and removed freely from the hot air returning duct 52 from the front surface 21a of a water tank 24. A bellows duct 51 is installed between the hot air returning duct 52 and the unit duct 46.
