Publication number: 20210140092Abstract: A dryer includes a heat pump system provided as a heat source for heating air supplied to a drum. The dryer includes a controller configured to perform operations that include selecting one of a plurality of operation modes in which initial driving frequencies are different from one another and inputting a drying start command to the dryer by a user, checking an outer temperature and comparing the outer temperature with a preset reference temperature T, performing the operation mode selected by the user, in a case where the outer temperature is equal to or more than the reference temperature T, performing an operation mode in which the initial driving frequency of the compressor is the highest of the plurality of operation modes, in a case where the outer temperature is less than the reference temperature T.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2021Publication date: May 13, 2021Inventors: Haeyoon JE, Ingeon LEE

Patent number: 10443184Abstract: A laundry treating apparatus comprises a drum receiving clothes; a fan supplying air to the drum; a heater heating the air supplied to the drum; and a dry level sensing unit determining a dry level of the clothes. A control method comprises setting a dry time; supplying air to the clothes by operating the fan or operating the fan and the heater, and controlled to be performed for the dry time; and resetting the dry time, when the dry level measured by the dry level sensing unit at a time past a preset reference time period from the start of the air supply step is less than a preset reference dry level, wherein resetting the dry time step adds more time to the reference time period.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2017Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: LG ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Simong Park, Ingeon Lee
