CLOTHES DRYER

PURPOSE:To easily renew a lint filter and to capture lint without deteriorating drying performance by detachably attaching the lint filter capable of being used in a winding type a plurality of number of times to a portion through which hot air passes after it is put into contact with clothes to be dried. CONSTITUTION:A lint filter is wound and renewed by a drying operation for every silted state of the line filter. The lint filter is wound to the last. When it cannot be wound furthermore, a third motor 34 is locked and excess current flows, so that an abnormally large current value detecting signal is input to a controller 83 from a current value detecting circuit 89 of a winding drive motor. Since when the lint filter is silted with captured lint, it can be wound and replaced by a new one, hot air can smoothly pass and drying performance can effectively be recovered. Thus, the lint can be captured without deteriorating the drying performance and time for completely drying clothes to be dried is not prolonged.
