A vibration limiter of a washing machine is disclosed. The vibration limiter includes a housing installed at one of a cabinet and a tub, a contact plate disposed within the housing such that the contact plate comes into contact with the other of the cabinet and the tub when the tub vibrates, a spring for elastically supporting the contact plate, a rotating member rotatable by at least one of the spring and the contact plate, and an oil damper engaged with the rotating member. The oil damper complementarily acts with the spring, to effectively absorb vibration. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the size of the spring and to secure enhanced reliability even after prolonged use.
