Abstract

An air conditioner includes an indoor unit (1) and an electrical unit (8) accommodated in the indoor unit (1) on a front side thereof. The electrical unit (8) includes a base (8b), a substrate (8c) mounted on the base (8b) and having electrical components placed thereon, and a cover (8d) for covering the base (8b). The base (8b) has a groove portion (9) defined therein so as to extend along an outer periphery thereof, and the cover (8d) has a protrusion (10) formed therewith so as to be fitted into the groove portion (9). This configuration complicates a pathway of entry of impurities into the electrical unit (8), thus restraining the impurities from entering the electrical unit (8).
