Laundry treating machine with high frequency drying apparatus

A laundry treatment machine comprising:

• a main body comprising a drum rotatably disposed therein;
• a pedestal supporting the main body and providing a certain drying space that receives a drying subject;
• a high frequency drying apparatus comprising an anode to which a high frequency is applied and a cathode electrically insulated from the anode to form an oscillation electric field between the anode and the cathode inside the drying space, and
• a variable impedance configured to control an intensity of the oscillation electric field formed between the anode and the cathode, the variable impedance provided adjacent to the pedestal such that heat generated upon application of an electric current is transmitted into the pedestal,
• wherein the pedestal comprises:
• a storage having an open upper surface such that the drying subject is received into the storage through the open upper surface;
• and
• a housing configured to receive the storage therein in a withdrawable manner, wherein the anode is formed on a surface of the housing arranged over the upper surface of the storage and facing a bottom surface of the storage, wherein the storage serves as the cathode, and wherein the variable impedance is provided over a bottom of the main body and heat generated from the impedance is transmitted to the storage by conduction through the housing.
