A method controls a dishwasher including a tub configured to receive objects to be washed, a drying device configured to receive wet air from the tub and to discharge the wet air to an outside of the dishwasher, and a dry air supplier including a heating part and being configured to supply heated air to the tub. The method includes preheating the drying device by introducing dry air from the outside to the drying device before a first preset time from a start point of a drying operation, performing the drying operation at the start point, wherein the wet air is discharged from the tub during the drying operation, and cooling the dry air supplier by stopping operation of the heating part before a second preset time from an end time point of the drying operation.

Control method of dishwasher

A laundry treating apparatus, which can perform a laundry drying function, includes a tub in which washing water is accommodated, a drum rotatably installed in the tub, a duct installed on the tub and provided with an air-intake port and an air-inflow port for a flow of air, a blower fan installed in the duct to form the flow of air between the air-intake port and the air-inflow port, a heat exchanger installed in the duct so as to be supplied with cooling water and configured to perform heat exchange so as to cool the air transferred along an inside of the duct, and a heater installed in the duct to heat the air transferred along the inside of the duct.
