A method of controlling a rotatable-drum laundry dryer and a rotatable-drum laundry dryer implementing the method

摘要

A method of controlling a drying operation of a rotatable-drum laundry dryer (1) comprising a rotatable drum (3) for loading laundry (5) and at least an electrode sensor (22) for sensing dryness of the laundry (5). The method comprises the steps of: detecting the presence/absence of moist laundry (5) inside the rotatable drum (3) by the electrode sensor (22); if presence of moist laundry inside the rotatable drum (3) is detected, starting a drying cycle; sensing dryness of the laundry (5) during the drying cycle; measuring a cycle time (TD) at which the sensed dryness reaches a preset dryness threshold; if the cycle time (TD) is lower than a preset dryness threshold time (Sm), continuing the drying cycle for a first additional time (D1), and stopping the drying cycle at the end of the first additional time (D1).
