摘要

The method involves drying laundry with a heater installed in a washing machine during a drying mode, by controlling a phase of a voltage applied to the heater (6) such that an inner temperature of a drum of the machine is maintained at a preset temperature. A decrement of a heating value of the heater is detected. Power supplied to the heater is cut off when the detected decrement reaches a preset reference decrement. An independent claim is also included for a drying apparatus of a washing machine.
