Abstract

Provided is a detergent supplying apparatus of a washing machine. The apparatus includes a drawer 254 provided in a water supplying flow of a washing machine or drawn to the outside through an opening 16 formed in the washing machine and a stopper 320 formed at the bottom of the drawer 254 to be locked to or released from the bottom of the opening 16. Since the stopper 320 is not easily found by a user, the number of times where the user tries to disengage the drawer 254 is much smaller than the number of times where the user tries to disengage the drawer 254 when the stopper 320 is formed in a drawer cap 280 or at the top of the drawer 254 so that it is possible to prevent the drawer 254 from being easily disengaged and lost.
