CLOTHES DRYER

Disclosed is a clothes dryer (1) capable of lowering the temperature of the clothes in a second half of an operation and sufficiently reducing the damage to the clothes due to over-drying, regardless of the type and the amount of the clothes. The clothes dryer (1) includes a drum (20); an air supply/exhaust unit (4) for supplying / exhausting drying air to / from the drum (20); a burner (30) for heating the drying air; a temperature sensor (31) for detecting an exhaust temperature; and a heating control unit (55) for performing a temperature adjustment process of stopping the burner (30) when the exhaust temperature reaches an upper limit temperature and restarting the burner (30) after a time point when the exhaust temperature decreases to a re-ignition temperature. The heating control unit (55) has a delay time inserting portion (56), which inserts a delay tome between the time when the exhaust temperature decreases to a lower limit temperature and the time when the burner (30) is restarted. The delay time is increased every time the temperature adjustment process is repeated intermittently.
