Abstract
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.
