Abstract:
A top loading type washing machine including a drum, a hub coupled to the drum, the hub having a hub opening, through which wash water flows in a vertical direction, a filter secured to the hub, the filter having a filter opening, through which the wash water flows in the vertical direction, and a gap forming element formed on at least one of the filter and the hub so as to protrude the other one of the filter and the hub, the gap forming element being configured to form a gap between the filter and the hub. The washing machine provides the flow path of wash water, through which wash water flows in the transverse direction, owing to a gap between the hub and the filter via the gap forming element, and minimizes interference between the wash water and the gap forming element, thus minimizing accumulation of lint on the gap forming element.
