What is claimed is: 1. A position adjusting apparatus to adjust a position of a support surface relative to an installation surface, the position adjusting apparatus comprising: a support leg having a head portion and a leg portion; and a support member, connectable to the support surface in multiple orientations, and having a protrusion having a circumference and adjustably receiving the leg portion, the position of the support surface relative to the installation surface being adjustable to a distance greater than a length of the support leg and to a distance less than a length of the head portion by adjusting the orientation of the support member so that the protrusion protrudes toward or away from the installation surface, wherein the support member includes a leg connection portion receiving the support leg, which is connected to an end thereof and surrounded by the protrusion, and wherein the support member is installed on a base so that the protrusion protrudes either toward an upper side of the base or away from lower side of the base, wherein the support member comprises: a base connection portion supported on the base, wherein the base has a through hole corresponding to an installation position of the support member, through which the corresponding protrusion is selectively inserted, and one of first or second surfaces of the base connection portion is selectively supported on the base so that the leg connection portion is positioned on one of the internal or external surfaces of the base. 2. The position adjusting apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the base connection portion is supported on the external surface of the base. 3. The position adjusting apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the support member is detachably connected to the base, and the support leg is detachably connected to the corresponding support members. 4. The position adjusting apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the height of the main body is adjusted by the support leg. 5. The position adjusting apparatus according to claim 4, wherein: the leg connection portion has a connection hole; the support leg comprises a leg portion inserted into the connection hole, and a head portion seated on the outer circumference of the connection hole; an inner circumference of the connection hole has an internal thread; and an outer circumference of the leg portion has an external thread, to adjust the height of the main body by the rotation of the support leg. 6. The position adjusting apparatus according to claim 5, wherein an outer diameter of the head portion is less than an inner diameter of the protrusion. 7. The position adjusting apparatus according to claim 5, wherein a length of the head portion is greater than a length of the protrusion. 8. A height adjusting apparatus for a household electric appliance including a main body with a base, the height adjusting apparatus comprising: at least one support leg positioned between the base of the main body and an installation surface, and at least one support member to height-adjustably support the support leg to the base, the support member including a leg connection portion receiving the support leg, and a protrusion protruding from an outer circumference of the leg connection portion, wherein the base has a through hole through which the protrusion is inserted, and the support member is installed on the base so that the leg connection portion is selectively positioned at an outside of the base or an inside of the base through the through hole, thereby adjusting the height of the main body, wherein; the leg connection portion has a connection hole, the support leg comprises: a leg portion inserted into the connection hole, and a head portion seated on an outer circumference of the connection hole, wherein an inner circumference of the connection hole has an internal thread, and an outer circumference of the leg portion has an external thread, to adjust the height of the main body by the rotation of the support leg. 9. The height adjusting apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the support member further includes a base connection portion, and one of first and second surfaces of the base connection portion selectively contacts the outside of the base so that the leg connection portion is positioned on one of the internal and external surfaces of the base. 10. The height adjusting apparatus according to claim 8, wherein an outer diameter of the head portion is less than an inner diameter of the protrusion. 11. The height adjusting apparatus according to claim 8, wherein a length of the head portion is greater than a length of the protrusion. 12. The height adjusting apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the household electric appliance is a drum-type washing machine. 13. The height adjusting apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the household electric appliance is a drum-type clothes dryer.
