Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3109356A1] The invention relates to a method for drying laundry to be implemented in a washing and drying apparatus. The washing and drying apparatus (2) comprises: a tub (30), a drum (36) arranged within the tub (30) and being adapted to receive laundry (40) for treatment within the drum, a washing arrangement adapted to wash the laundry received in the drum (36), a drying arrangement comprising a drying air heater (20, H) and a drying air fan (26, B), and a load detector (46, 60) for detecting a load signal indicative of the load received in the drum (36). The washing and drying apparatus is adapted to dry the laundry received in the drum (36) and the drying method comprises the steps of: Starting (S30) a drying program; detecting (d, S8) the load signal (I); evaluating (S10) the detected load signal (I); in dependency of the load evaluation, executing (S16) a spin cycle (d) or not executing a spin cycle; and drying (f, S22) the laundry (40) received in the drum (36) in a drying cycle.
