To detect defective drainage of dehumidifying water with an inexpensive structure and with excellent reliability.
The clothes dryer includes: an air-conditioning unit 15; a fan unit 24 disposed between the air-conditioning unit 15 and a rotary drum 3; a circulation blast pathway 36 for sucking air within the rotary drum 3, dehumidifying and heating the air through the air-conditioning unit 15 to make dry high-temperature air, and returning the dry air to the rotary drum 3 thereafter; return air temperature detecting means 37 for detecting the temperature of air coming out of the rotary drum 3 and passing through the circulation blast pathway 36 to a dehumidifying heat exchanger 13; and control means 41 for controlling the operation. The control means 41 detects defective drainage of dehumidifying water based on the temperature detected by the return air temperature detecting means 37.
