Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, performing such filter cleaning manually may not only be tedious, but because the filter cleaning may not be performed every time the dryer is operated, it can be possible to fail to clean the filter before cleaning it due to foreign objects interfering with the air flow exhausted from the drum. Ensuring sufficient air flow for drying

Abstract

A method for controlling a dryer (A) includes putting a brush driving unit into operation, after putting the brush driving unit into operation, gathering information related to the operation of the brush driving unit, and controlling operation of the dryer (A) based on the gathered information related to the brush driving unit. The brush driving unit is configured to drive a brush (430) that separates foreign matter from a filter portion (420) of a filter assembly (4) positioned to contact air that has exited from a drum of the dryer (A).

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to a method for controlling a dryer which enables automatic cleaning of a filter assembly which removes foreign matter from the air discharged by the drum. Background technique [0002] In general, a dryer is a machine for drying laundry by supplying heated air to the laundry. [0003] The air discharged from the inside of the drum to the outside of the drum after heat exchange with the laundry absorbs moisture from the laundry in the drum to become humid high-temperature air. Dryers may be classified as follows. [0004] For example, a discharge type dryer discharges humid high-temperature air from the drum to the outside of the dryer, while a condensation type dryer in which a heat exchanger condenses and heats air from the drum during operation supplies humid high-temperature air to the drum again ( That is, to recirculate the air exhausted from the drum). [0005] In general, the air exhausted from the drum during...
