Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2840181A1] A clothes dryer according to the present invention includes: a housing (11); a drum which holds clothes to be dried; a hot air generator (13) which generates hot air to be sent into the drum; an air blower (14) which is disposed at a front lower portion within the housing (11) and which draws ambient air into the housing (11); an ambient air inlet (26) provided in a bottom (11a) of the housing (11) and in front of the air blower (14); and an opening (28) which is provided at the bottom (11a) of the housing (11) and which communicates with the air blower (14). Such a structure prevents entry of foreign objects from the front face of the housing (11) and ensures drawing of ambient air through the opening (28) even if the ambient air inlet (26) is blocked.
