Abstract (en)
The method is used for operating a clothes drying appliance (1), wherein a moisture content of the clothes (6) is determined by measuring a current running through the clothes (6) and wherein an AC voltage signal is applied to the clothes (6) (S3). The clothes drying appliance (1) is adapted to perform the method according to any of the preceding claims. The clothes drying appliance (1) may comprise at least an AC voltage generator (3) generating an AC voltage, at least one electrode (5) being connected to output ports of the AC voltage generator (3), the at least one electrode (5) being coverable by the clothes (6); and a logic (2) functionally connected to the at least one electrode (5) for determining a conductance representative of a moisture content of the clothes (6) from a measured AC current between the electrodes (5).
