Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Disclosed herein are a clothes dryer and a control method thereof in which a drying time is adjusted according to wool content during a drying cycle of a wool course. Wool content of woolen textiles is judged by sensing a dryness of the woolen textiles during a drying cycle of a wool course, and a drying time is adjusted according to the wool content, thereby minimizing contraction or deformation of the woolen textiles while satisfying the range of a target dryness set by wool mark standards. Further, only a high-capacity heater is driven during the drying cycle of the wool course, thereby allowing an internal temperature of a rotary drum to keep the optimum temperature without contraction or deformation of the woolen textiles.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A control method of a clothes dryer which has a drum to receive laundry to be dried, and heaters to supply hot air to the inside of the drum, comprising: judging whether a drying cycle is selected; sensing a dryness of the laundry, if the drying cycle is selected; and adjusting a drying time of the laundry according to the sensed dryness, wherein in the adjustment of the drying time, the sum of pulse values for a designated time is calculated, and comp…
