Method for controlling a drying cycle of a laundry dryer

A method for controlling a drying cycle of a laundry dryer having a laundry drum and an air stream fan for circulating drying air through said laundry drum, the method comprises the steps of:

• starting a drying cycle having an initial end cycle condition,
• starting the drying cycle at a rotation speed (SD) of a laundry drum, and a rotation speed (SF) of the air stream fan,
• estimating an amount of laundry contained in the laundry drum,
• modifying the rotation speed (SD) of the laundry drum and/or the rotation speed (SF) of the air stream fan, during the drying cycle, according to an estimated amount of laundry contained in the laundry drum, a laundry dryness level, or a temperature of the air stream,
• evaluating a modified rotation speed (SD) of the laundry drum and/or a modified rotation speed (SF) of the air stream fan, and, based upon such evaluation, modifying the initial end cycle condition to be a modified end cycle condition,
• detecting an electric resistance and/or conductivity of the laundry during the drying cycle for estimating a dryness level of the laundry,
• comparing the electric resistance and/or conductivity of the laundry with the modified end cycle condition, and
• finishing the drying cycle after the modified end cycle condition is fulfilled.
