The invention discloses a washing electric appliance which comprises a base, a main body and a
heat pump drying system, the main body is arranged on the base and forms a washing cavity, and a first through hole and a second through hole which are communicated with the washing cavity are formed in different sides of the main body; the
heat pump drying system comprises an air duct component, a compressor, a condenser, a throttling device and an
evaporator, the compressor, the condenser, the throttling device and the
evaporator are sequentially connected to form a closed
refrigerant loop, the air duct component forms a flow guide channel and extends to the second through hole from the first through hole along the main body and the base, and one end of the air duct component is in
butt joint with the first through hole. The other end of the air duct component is in
butt joint with the second through hole, the
evaporator is used for cooling the gas flowing out of the washing chamber, and the condenser is used for heating the gas returning to the washing chamber. Therefore, the first through hole and the second through hole are formed in different sides of the main body, and the air duct component extends from the first through hole to the second through hole along the main body and the base, so that the space of the base can be reasonably utilized.
