In a laundry treating apparatus, flat surfaces are installed at both sides of a tub for storing water therein, so that a spacing between each of the both sides of the tub and each side of a cabinet is smaller than a spacing between a lower surface of the tub and a bottom of the cabinet. Further, a control panel is disposed between the lower surface of the tub and the bottom of the cabinet.

A laundry appliance may include a cabinet, a drum, a door, a transmitter power coil, a receiver power coil, and an electronic component. The drum may be mounted within the cabinet. The drum may define a space for the receipt of articles therein. The door may be movably mounted to the cabinet to selectively restrict access to the drum. The transmitter power coil may be mounted to the cabinet proximal to the door. The receiver power coil may be mounted to the door in selective electromagnetic communication with the transmitter power coil to receive an electromagnetic field therefrom. The electronic component may be in electrical communication with the receiver power coil to receive power therefrom.
