Drum type washing machine

A drum type washing machine comprising:

• a cabinet forming an exterior of the drum type washing machine;
• a tub fixed within the cabinet, the tub having a laundry loading entrance at an outer circumference of the tub;
• a drum rotatably provided within the tub, the drum having an opening on a lateral circumferential side of the drum to communicate with the laundry loading entrance of the tub;
• a motor assembly provided next to one side of the drum to rotate the drum, the motor assembly including a rotational shaft connected to the drum and a bearing housing to rotatably support the rotational shaft;
• and
• a suspension assembly provided to support a weight of the drum and attenuate vibration of the drum,
• wherein the suspension assembly includes at least one damper bracket which is configured to be bent toward a front side of the tub from the bearing housing and a damper which is connected to the at least one damper bracket.
