<p>The present invention relates to clothes dryers and other drying apparatus, such as tumble dryers. The invention concerns the use of a sensing means which senses or measures an electrical characteristic, such as voltage, impedance or current to determine moisture content and load size, and so as to monitor the load periodically. The sensing means is located in an exhaust outlet path and simultaneously on a door of the dryer. Another feature of the invention is the provision of a no monitoring period at the start of a cycle, so as to allow clothes to be properly distributed in the dryer. By doing this, more accurate measurements are obtained.</p> |
