<p>In a clothes drying machine (1) or the like, a method for controlling the drying stage of the clothes contained in the drum (6) of said machine (1) comprises measuring the quantity of water released by the clothes within a predetermined time (T1; T10) during their drying, a signal being provided for stopping the machine if the measurement obtained is less than a predetermined value. Said method is implemented in a clothes dryer or the like comprising measurement means (40, 50, 60, 76, 80; 129, 130, 160; 230, 235) to measure the quantity of water released from the clothes during their drying and to generate signals based on this measurement, said signals being fed to a control unit (27) which is connected to at least one of the means (7, 8; 13; 70) for generating the air circulation through the drum (6) and for heating said air, said unit (27) monitoring the variation in said measured water quantity and acting on said means when said variation has a negative gradient and when the signals originating from the measurement means (40, 50, 60, 76, 80; 129, 130, 160; 230, 235) correspond to a measured water quantity which is constant with time.</p> |
