A clothing dryer (1) includes a water level sensing device (90) capable of detecting a water level of condensed water, using a simple structure. The clothing dryer includes a body (10), a drum (20) rotatably installed in the body (10), the drum (20) receiving objects to be dried, a base (70) arranged beneath the body (10), a dehumidifying unit (80) mounted to the base (70), to condense moisture contained in air discharged from the drum (20), a water container (100) to collect condensed water formed in the dehumidifying unit (80), and a water level sensing device (90) to detect a level of the condensed water collected in the water container (100). The water level sensing device includes a floating unit (140) movable in accordance with a variation in the level of the condensed water. The water level sensing device (90) also includes an electrode sensor (150) to detect the level of the condensed water when electrically connected with the conductor (141) of the floating unit (140). |
