Abstract

PURPOSE:To diminish such a danger that a user easily touches a garment inlet port to get burnt by a method wherein a control circuit includes a door switch take-up circuit and detects ON-OFF of a door switch, and an alarm is issued by the door switch take-up circuit and a microcomputer according to ON-OFF of the door switch. CONSTITUTION:A drying operation controller 10 drives a motor, a heater, etc., via a microcomputer 14 to control and execute the drying operation. When a door is opened during drying operation, power supply to the motor and the heater is cut off by a door switch 9 and the operation is stopped. Simultaneously, an OFF signal is transmitted to the microcomputer 14 through a door switch take-up circuit 16. The microcomputer outputs an output signal to a piezoelectric buzzer 8 to sound the buzzer for a certain time period.
