Dryer

A dryer comprising:

• a drum comprising:
• a drum body that defines a space configured to receive clothes,
• a front cover that defines a front surface of the drum body, the front cover defining a drum inlet in communication with the space of the drum body, and
• a rear cover that defines a rear surface of the drum body;
• a fixing panel spaced apart from the rear cover, the fixing panel defining a panel through-hole;
• a motor comprising a stator disposed in the panel through-hole and a rotor configured to rotate relative to the stator;
• a power transmitter comprising:
• a housing fixed to the fixing panel,
• a first shaft located at the housing and coupled to the rotor,
• a second shaft located at the housing and coupled to the rear cover, and
• an interlocking gear located in the housing and configured to decelerate a rotational speed of the first shaft, the interlocking gear being configured to transmit rotational force from the first shaft to the second shaft;
• and
• a driving unit bracket that is disposed at the panel through-hole, the driving unit bracket being coupled to a surface of the fixing panel and configured to reinforce the fixing panel,
• wherein the fixing panel is located between the driving unit bracket and the stator.

• wherein the surface of the fixing panel faces the drum, and
• wherein the driving unit bracket comprises:
• a ring portion that overlaps with a circumferential surface of the panel through-hole, that is fixed to the fixing panel, and that supports the stator, and
• a housing coupling portion that protrudes from an inside of the ring portion and supports an exterior of the housing.
