  • Publication number: 20110005097
    Abstract: A clothes-treating apparatus and a controlling method thereof are disclosed. According to a controlling method of a clothes-treating apparatus, a predetermined operational condition of a compressor included in a heat pump to supply dry air to clothes placed therein may be maintained normally. Furthermore, a cooling fan provided in a mechanism compartment is operated only if an internal environment of the mechanism compartment is out of the normal operational condition of the compressor. As a result, noise created from operation of the cooling fan may be reduced and dust that happens to be sucked into the mechanism compartment when external air is drawn may be minimized.
