Abstract
An electronic control system to regulate heating and cooling cycle temperatures in a clothes dryer drying program. Operation is controlled according to a preselected combination of a heating schedule and a cooling schedule. Provision is made to sense and control according to the temperature of the air used to dry articles such as clothes in the clothes dryer. Provision is further made to give a visual indication of the drying program selected and to cancel the program selected and indication thereof upon completion of the drying program or selection of an alternative program. The final state of the articles being dried is determined by tumbling the articles in the presence of heated force-convected air until the desired state of dryness is obtained and terminating the application of heat and continuing tumbling and forced-convection until the articles are cooled to a desired temperature whereupon said tumbling is terminated.
