A dryer including a main body which includes a user interface; a drum to accommodate a material to be dried; a motor configured to provide a rotation force to the drum; a heat pump device including a compressor, and configured to heat air to be supplied to the drum; an electrode sensor configured to output a pulse when contacting the drying material; a current sensor configured to output a sensed value corresponding to a magnitude of current flowing through the motor; and a controller configured to receive a drying course selected through the user interface, and output a control signal to control the motor and the compressor.

Dryer and method for controlling the same

A clothes dryer is disclosed. The clothes dryer includes a rotatably disposed drum, a heat pump system including a compressor configured to compress a refrigerant and a condenser configured to condense the refrigerant, a heater configured to heat air supplied to the interior of the drum, a first temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of air passing through the interior of the drum, a second temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the compressor, and a processor configured to control an operation of the compressor on the basis of the temperature of the air passing through the interior of the drum detected by the first temperature sensor and control an operation of the heater on the basis of the temperature of the compressor detected by the second temperature sensor.
