Abstract (en)
A clothes dryer according to the present invention includes: a rotary drum; a motor; an inner circumferential plate; a pair of first electrodes and a pair of second electrodes provided on the inner circumferential plate; and at least a first resistance detection unit for detecting a change of a resistance value between the pair of first electrodes due to contact with the clothes in the rotary drum, and a second resistance detection unit for detecting a change of a resistance value between the pair of second electrodes due to contact with the clothes in the rotary drum. Further, the clothes dryer includes a control unit including a calculating unit connected to the first resistance detection unit and the second resistance detection unit for calculating a degree of dryness of the clothes in the rotary drum, based on at least one of signals from the first resistance detection unit and the second resistance detection unit.
