Abstract
Provided is a dryer and a method of controlling the same that may determine whether drying is complete based on a temperature difference between a temperature of air discharged to a drum and a temperature of air flowing in from the drum. According to various embodiments, the dryer includes a drum; a heat pump; a duct configured to accommodate an evaporator and a condenser of the heat pump, heat air flowing in from the drum and discharge the air to the drum; a first temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of the air discharged to the drum; a second temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of the air flowing in from the drum; and a controller configured to determine that drying is complete, based on maintaining a difference value between the temperature of the air discharged and the temperature of the air flowing in below a preset value.
