A laundry treatment apparatus, in particular a dryer or a washing machine having a dryer function, and a method for operating the apparatus are disclosed. The apparatus includes a laundry treatment chamber () for treating laundry using process air (A), a blower () for circulating the process air (A) within the laundry treatment chamber (); and at least one temperature sensor (). The method includes: detecting by said at least one temperature sensor () at least one temperature signal indicative of the ambient temperature of the laundry treatment apparatus, selecting a predetermined speed profile for operating the laundry treatment chamber () or the blower () in dependency of the at least one temperature signal detected by said at least one temperature sensor (), and starting to operate the laundry treatment chamber () or the blower () in a laundry drying cycle by applying or executing the selected predetermined speed profile to the laundry treatment chamber () or to the blower () during the drying cycle in dependency of the at least one detected temperature signal.

Laundry treatment apparatus and method for operating a laundry treatment apparatus

A method is provided for controlling a motor speed (v) of a motor () in a laundry dryer during a drying cycle, which motor () is provided for driving a laundry drum () and an air stream fan () of the laundry dryer. The drying cycle is subdivided into a first part and a second part. During the first part of the drying cycle the motor speed (v) takes a value of a first predetermined motor speed (v). During the second part of the drying cycle the motor speed (v) takes a value of a second predetermined motor speed (v). The value of the second predetermined motor speed (v) is higher than the value of the first predetermined motor speed (v) and allows laundry tumbling inside the drum (). The drying cycle changes from the first part to the second part, when laundry dryness () of laundry inside the laundry drum () has reached a predetermined value.
