РЕФЕРАТ Предложена стиральная машина барабанного типа, выполненная в корпусе, содержащая бак для воды, который содержит воду; вращающийся бак, установленный с возможностью его вращения в баке для воды; и сушильное устройство для сушки белья. Сушильное устройство содержит нагнетательный вентилятор, нагреватель для нагревания воздуха, проходящего через нагнетательный вентилятор, и верхние и нижний отсеки, соединенные друг с другом таким образом, что нагнетательный вентилятор и нагреватель установлены между ними, и так, что образуется внутренний канал для текучей среды. Верхние отсеки содержат первый верхний отсек, при снятии которого обеспечивается доступ к нагнетательному вентилятору снаружи корпуса, и второй верхний отсек, при снятии которого обеспечивается доступ к нагревателю снаружи корпуса. Поскольку нагнетательный вентилятор и нагреватель выполнены с возможностью обеспечения к ним доступа по отдельности снаружи корпуса, обеспечивается возможность удобного ремонта сушильного устройства.

Обеспечивается установка для фильтрации для использования внутри приемника для предварительного замачивания изделий. Устройство для фильтрации имеет такой размер, чтобы дно устройства для фильтрации было расположено на расстоянии от дна приемника так, чтобы обеспечивать возможность любым загрязнениям и/или мусору с изделия, подвергающегося предварительному замачиванию, проходить в приемник. Таким образом, после того, как изделия, которые были предварительно замочены, требуется переместить в очистительную установку, загрязнения и/или мусор не будут перемещаться и будут оставаться внутри приемника. Кольцевой фланец на верхнем конце устройства для фильтрации может опираться на верхний обод приемника для расположения устройства для фильтрации внутри приемника так, чтобы устройство для фильтрации было подвешено на определенном расстоянии над дном приемника. Устройство для фильтрации также может включать в себя прорези для обеспечения прохождения сквозь них загрязненного раствора.
