Abstract:
1. A method for controlling a drying course of a laundry dryer, comprising: (a) starting a drying course by using high temperature drying air, and periodically sensing dryness of a drying object; (b) determining a dryness saturation time point at which the sensed dryness exceeds a preset reference value Q; (c) determining a load of the drying object according to the determined drying saturation time point T_sat; and (d) performing a drying algorithm depending on the determined load of the drying object, wherein performing the drying algorithm includes performing the drying course according to a variable mode drying algorithm in which a general mode is varied when the determined load of the drying object is a small load, wherein determining the dryness saturation time point includes:
