- a washing machine comprising: a tub installed in a cabinet of the washing machine to contain water; and a fixing bracket positioned on a rear wall of the tub to prevent movement of a hall sensor wire connected with a hall sensor serving to detect a speed of a motor installed on the rear wall of the tub.
- the fixing bracket may comprise a body defining an outer appearance of the fixing
- the recess may have both circumferences rounded outwardly, and the fixing bracket may have all circumferences rounded outwardly.
- the fixing bracket may be secured to the rear wall of the tub by means of a one- point fastening structure.
- the washing machine may further comprise a rotation preventing device formed on the fixing bracket and the rear wall of the tub to prevent the fixing bracket from rotating.
- the rotation preventing device may comprise a rotation preventing protrusion formed on the tub, and an insertion hole formed through the fixing bracket so as to allow the rotation preventing protrusion to be inserted therein.
- the rotation preventing device may comprise a rotation preventing protrusion formed on the fixing bracket, and an insertion hole formed on the tub so as to allow the rotation preventing protrusion to be inserted therein.
- the washing machine may further comprise a fixing device formed on the rear wall of the tub to fix remaining portions of the hall sensor wire secured to the fixing bracket.
- the fixing device may comprise a pair of protrusions formed on the rear wall of the tub so as to allow the hall sensor wire to be fitted between the pair of protrusions.
- the hall sensor wire can be prevented from being worn out even with continuous contact of the hall sensor wire with the circumferences of the fixing bracket, thereby preventing a cover of the hall sensor wire from being worn out.

- a door 21 is installed on a front side of the cabinet 1, and a gasket 22 is installed between the door 21 and the tub 2.
- a hanging spring 23 is installed between an inner side of an upper surface of the cabinet 1 and an upper side of an outer periphery of the tub 2 to hold the tub 2
- a friction damper 24 is installed between an inner side of a lower surface of the cabinet 1 and a lower side of an outer periphery of the tub 2 to damp vibration of the tub 2 that occurs upon spin drying.
- a fixing bracket 100 is installed to the rear wall of the tub 2 to prevent a hall sensor wire 9a from moving due to vibration transmitted from the tub when driving the motor 5.
- the fixing bracket 100 comprises a body 110, and a fixing part 130 to secure the body 110.
