A laundry treatment apparatus includes a tub body for receiving water, a tub cover that covers an upper surface of the tub body and that defines an introduction aperture, a drum located inside the tub body for receiving laundry, a door for opening and closing the introduction aperture, a hinge that rotatably couples the door to the tub cover, a fixing unit that releasably couples a portion of the door to the tub cover, and a sealing unit on the door or the introduction aperture that is configured to seal the introduction aperture based on the introduction aperture being closed by the door. A portion of the sealing unit located in a direction in which the fixing unit is provided has a different diameter from a diameter of a portion of the sealing unit that is located in a direction in which the hinge is provided.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet; a drawer including a first through-hole at a top face of the drawer; a tub disposed in the drawer, the tub including a laundry inlet communicating with the drawer first through-hole; a drum rotatably disposed in the tub; a door for opening and closing the drawer first through-hole or the laundry inlet; a housing; a lever having a fixed end pivotably coupled in the housing, and a free end configured to move up and down in the housing; a magnetic field generator disposed at one of the free end of the lever or the drawer; a magnetic field sensor disposed at another of the free end of the lever or the drawer; a slide in the housing; an actuating body disposed at the lever and protruding toward the slide; and an inclined body disposed at the slide and corresponding to the actuating body.

A laundry treating appliance includes a ventilation system for reducing buildup of odor. The ventilation system can be configured to periodically evacuate air from the treating chamber to refresh the air within the treating chamber. Fresh air can be pumped from an entrance in the bottom of the cabinet and can exit an opening in the washing machine.

A lid for a laundry machine is configured to open to provide access to a laundry treating chamber and close to conceal the laundry treating chamber. The lid includes a frame and a panel. The frame has a front beam, opposing side beams extending from the front beam, and an open back end. The front beam and opposing side beams collectively define a channel. The panel is disposed within the channel. The panel spans the opposing side beams. The panel extends from the front beam to the open back end. The panel has a rear edge extending between the opposing side beams along the open back end.
