A drum type washing and drying machine comprising:

• a main body;
• a water tub suspended by a suspension structure;
• a cylindrical rotary drum having a bottom surface to accommodate laundry therein, wherein the rotary drum has a cylindrical surface provided with multiple drum perforations communicating with the water tub;
• a front frame forming a front surface of a main body of the washing and drying machine, wherein the front frame is provided with a laundry loading/unloading opening through which the laundry is loaded into or unloaded from the rotary drum;
• a detergent dispenser accommodated in the front frame, wherein the detergent dispenser is allowed to be drawn out forwardly from an upper portion of the front frame, and detergent loaded in the detergent dispenser is dissolved in water introduced into the detergent dispenser from a water supply valve and is supplied into the water tub;
• an air circulation channel for exhausting air from the water tub, dehumidifying the exhausted air, heating the dehumidified air and re-circulating the heated air back into the water tub, wherein the air circulation channel includes a rotating fan therein;
• a dehumidification pipe constituting a part of the air circulation channel and connected with the water tub;
• a dryer filter provided on the air circulation channel and including a lint trap filter for collecting therein lint generated during a drying process;
• and
• a control panel for setting an operation of the main body and displaying an operating state thereof, wherein the control panel disposed is on the upper portion of the front frame,
• wherein the dry filter is disposed such that the dehumidified air by the dehumidification pipe passes through the dryer filter before being heated, and allowed to be drawn out forwardly from the upper portion of the front frame, and
• wherein the dryer filter and the detergent dispenser are substantially symmetrically disposed with respect to the control panel interposed therebetween.
