Washing apparatus
First Claim
1. A washing apparatus comprising:
- a cabinet body forming the outer appearance of the washing apparatus;
a base pan mounted to a lower end of the cabinet body; and
a water leakage sensor mounted on the top of the base pan and adapted to sense the leakage of water from a certain interior location of the cabinet body onto the base pan, wherein the top of the base pan is inclined downward toward a mounting position of the water leakage sensor.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a washing apparatus in which the top of a base pan is inclined downward toward a mounting position of a water leakage sensor, so that water, dropped onto the base pan, is gathered toward the water leakage sensor regardless of a water drop position, thereby enabling prompt operation of the water leakage sensor and achieving an enhancement in reliability. Furthermore, the washing apparatus comprises holders by which the water leakage sensor is vertically caught after being vertically press fitted to the base pan, thereby enabling the water leakage sensor to be mounted to the base pan via a single vertical press-fitting operation, resulting in an enhancement in assembling efficiency.
