A control method for drying clothes is disclosed. The method finds a difference in surface temperature between clothes catching air blow and the same clothes catching no air blow, and then determines a degree of dryness in the clothes based on the difference. Based on the degree of dryness, the method determines at what time heating should start.

Method for controlling drying of clothes and dryer for clothes

A blower drawing air into the air path and discharging air to the discharge duct, including: a frame forming an outer shell; a fan driven by a motor and having a fan outlet, inside the frame; a duct connection part having a duct connection opening, connected to the discharge duct, outside the frame; and an in-frame blow-out part connecting the duct connection part with the fan outlet, inside the frame. The cross-section shape of the air path changes continuously and smoothly at the in-frame blow-out part and the duct connection part, from the fan outlet to the duct connection opening.
