Clothes dryer and method for controlling operation thereof

A method for controlling operation of a clothes dryer, the clothes dryer including with a circulation fan for circulating air and a cooling fan being separately driven to cool down a condenser, the method comprising processes of:

• simultaneously rotating the circulation fan and a drum, and operating a heater in a state of the cooling fan being stopped;
• and
• beginning to rotate the cooling fan when a predetermined condition is met so as to delay operation of the condenser for improving dry efficiency.

A method for controlling operation of a clothes dryer, the clothes dryer being provided with a circulation fan for circulating air and a cooling fan being separately operated from the circulation fan to cool down a condenser, the method comprising processes of:

• simultaneously rotating the cooling fan at a low speed and the circulation fan for circulating air and a drum, and operating a heater for heating the air;
• and
• beginning to operate the cooling fan at a regular speed when a predetermined condition is met so as to delay operation of the condenser for improving dry efficiency.

A method for controlling operation of a clothes dryer, the clothes dryer being provided with a circulation fan for circulating air and a cooling fan being separately operated from the circulation fan to cool down a condenser, the method comprising processes of:

• operating a cooling fan at a low speed when amount of heating of a heater is a first set value (Q1) and less;
• and
• operating the cooling fan at high speed when the amount of heating of the heater is a second set value (Q2) and more.
