| 20090077827 | DRYER AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING FOR THE SAME - The present invention provides a dryer and a method for controlling the same, which prevents foreign matters from entering into a heater and can remove the foreign matters from the heater. The dryer includes a drum for holding a drying object, a heater for heating air to provide hot air to the drum, a duct for forming a flow passage for introducing the hot air heated at the heater to the drum, a fan for controlling an air flow in the duct, and a microcomputer for controlling operation of the fan and the heater for removing foreign matters accumulated on the heater. The method for controlling a dryer having a heater and a fan includes the steps of a foreign matter removing step for removing foreign matters from the heater by driving the fan in a state the heater is not operated, and a drying course step for performing a drying course by driving the heater after the foreign matter removing step. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090199427 | Dryer and Control Method Thereof - The present invention relates to a dryer, and a method for controlling the same. The method includes the steps of sensing an amount of laundry in the dryer, setting a primary drying time period T of the dryer with reference to the amount of laundry sensed thus, setting a secondary drying time period T in the middle of drying according to the primary drying time period set thus, and drying the laundry according to the secondary drying time period T set thus, whereby permitting setting of a more accurate drying time period because the drying time period of the dryer is set two times. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20100083528 | METHOD OF DRYING CLOTHING WITH AUTO SHUT OFF AND PRORATED BILLING - The method of drying of the present invention includes providing a dryer with a payment receiving means providing a heat source in thermal communication with the dryer. Clothes are then inserted into the dryer and a means of payment to the payment receiving means of the dryer is provided. A drying cycle is then initiated to operate the dryer. Moisture is sensed in the clothes ax the dryer is being operated. The dryer is turned off when the moisture in the clothes exceeds a predetermined amount representing a dry load. Payment is received from the means of payment while the dryer is in operation. Payment is stopped from the means of payment when the dryer has ceased operation. As a result, the user has paid only for the time for the dryer to provide a dry load of laundry. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100205825 | LAUNDRY TREATING APPLIANCE WITH BULKY ITEM DETECTION - A laundry treating appliance and method for controlling the operation of a laundry treating appliance comprising a treating chamber by determining the presence of a bulky laundry item based on image data of the laundry. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20110265343 | CLOTHES DRYER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - Disclosed herein are a clothes dryer and a control method thereof in which a drying time is adjusted according to wool content during a drying cycle of a wool course. Wool content of woolen textiles is judged by sensing a dryness of the woolen textiles during a drying cycle of a wool course, and a drying time is adjusted according to the wool content, thereby minimizing contraction or deformation of the woolen textiles while satisfying the range of a target dryness set by wool mark standards. Further, only a high-capacity heater is driven during the drying cycle of the wool course, thereby allowing an internal temperature of a rotary drum to keep the optimum temperature without contraction or deformation of the woolen textiles. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20120042536 | Dryer - A drying system is provided. The drying system is configured to dry a person after the person exits a water feature. The drying system has a blower system configured to blow a gas proximate the person. The drying system has a controller system for operating the blower. The gas used in the drying system is configured to dry to the person after getting at least partially wet in the water feature. | 02-23-2012 |
