A temperature control method and apparatus for a clothes dryer, a clothes dryer, a storage medium, an electronic device and a computer program product are provided, where an instruction for drying clothes is received, an inside-drum heater is controlled to start heating until an inside-drum temperature measurement value obtained from a current measurement of an inside-drum temperature sensor reaches a first preheating temperature value preset, then the inside-drum heater is controlled to stop heating, and the clothes dryer is controlled to execute a drying control procedure according to a preset drying temperature value, where the first preheating temperature value is lower than the drying temperature value. Through setting of the first preheating temperature value, a working state of the heater of the clothes dryer is controlled.

A laundry appliance includes a drum that defines a processing space for drying articles. A blower delivers process air through an airflow path that includes the processing space. A heater is in thermal communication with the airflow path and delivers thermal energy to the process air. A controller is in communication with the drum, the blower, and the heater. During operation of a laundry cycle, the heater, the drum, and the blower cooperatively operate a particulate removal phase that maintains the articles in a damp state for a predetermined period of time. The damp state of the articles prevents accumulation of an electrostatic charge within the articles and a surface of the drum and allows the process air to separate particulate matter from the articles. After completion of the particulate removal phase, the heater operates at a conventional state that operates to dry the articles.

A method of treating laundry in a laundry treating appliance having an air supply system and a heating system both operably coupled to and controlled by a controller to supply heated air to a rotatable drum defining a treating chamber, the method including the application of an enzyme solution to the laundry during a cycle of operation.

A method of operating a laundry treating appliance for treating laundry according to a cycle of operation with the laundry treating appliance including a treating chamber for receiving laundry selectively accessible through a door, can include determining the removal of laundry after completion of the cycle of operation and reducing humidity in the treating chamber after determination of the removal of the laundry.

A method for treating laundry in a laundry treating appliance including the application of an enzyme solution to the laundry during a cycle of operation.

An apparatus and method for reducing humidity both within laundry and within a laundry treating appliance in response to a door being opened or closed are disclosed.

A method for controlling a drying machine for performing a drying function on the basis of external environmental information, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: receiving initial sensing values before starting drying; receiving object-to-be-dried analysis information; acquiring the external environmental information by providing the initial sensing values and the object-to-be-dried analysis information to a first artificial intelligence model; and drying objects to be dried, on the basis of the acquired external environmental information.

A method includes receiving a user input comprising a timed dry cycle selection, and activating a timed dry cycle in response to the user input. The timed dry cycle is configured to operate for an amount of time. The method also includes determining a notification window of the timed dry cycle before activating the timed dry cycle, activating the heating system of the dryer appliance during the timed dry cycle of the dryer appliance, calculating a drying time to reach a pre-determined dryness threshold, comparing the calculated drying time to a remaining time of the timed drying cycle, and providing a user notification when the calculated drying time exceeds the remaining time of the cycle.
