Abstract: A clothes dryer temperature control system or circuit is provided with a thermally biased thermostat adjacent to the air outlet of the drying drum. Further, a thermally biased control thermostat is provided adjacent the air inlet of the dryer drum. The two thermostats are controlled through a multiple contact switch controller which allows the dryer to operate in a high heat, medium heat, low heat, and damp dry heating cycles. Additionally, in a gas dryer embodiment a trimmer thermostat is located in circuit with the thermally biased resistor of the thermally biased air inlet thermostat so as to decrease the response time of this thermostat on its first cycle to prevent damage to clothing during initial operation of a gas dryer.

Abstract: A temperature modification assembly comprises a housing, a temperature modification element disposed in the housing, and a blower arranged to direct an air flow past the temperature modification element. The temperature modification assembly may further comprise at least one freely extending duct coupled to the housing, communicating with the blower and defining a pocket having a narrow profile; first and second freely extending ducts coupled to the housing and a blower arranged to direct a flow of air between the first and second ducts; and/or an open ended jacket cooperatively arranged with the housing and a blower arranged to circulate a flow of air between the temperature modification element and the interior of the jacket.
