ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for generating a drying cycle for a clothes dryer. A temperature sensor is positioned in the clothes dryer to continuously measure the temperature of hot air entering the clothes dryer. A microprocessor reads a signal from the temperature sensor and enables and disables a burner for supplying the hot air. The burner is enabled each time a measured temperature is below a predetermined set point temperature. When the temperature is at or above the set point temperature, the burner is disabled. The burner will continuously cycle to maintain the hot air at the predetermined temperature. The microprocessor is also programmed to periodically compute a dryness level for the clothes from the average on and off times of the burner. A signal is generated to indicate the end of the drying cycle when a predetermined dryness level has been detected.
