Control device for program-controlled laundry dryer - registers loading state of drum and automatically adjusts performance to match load

摘要

A control device is for a programme-controlled household laundry dryer with a drum and at least two heating elements of different heating capacities for the drying air. A sensor registers the loading state of the drum or the weight of the laundry to be dried. At or after the start of the drying programme, the sensor delivers a pulse for the control device if the drum is underloaded. The pulse ensures a conversion to a reduced heating performance appropriate to the loading of the drum or the weight of the laundry.
