To detect defective drainage of dehumidifying water with an inexpensive structure and with excellent reliability.
The clothes dryer includes: an evaporator 16 and a condenser 14 for dehumidifying and heating drying air flowing through a circulation air pathway 17; compressing means 13 and pressure-reducing means 15 constituting a refrigerating cycle together with the evaporator 16 and condenser 14; condensation temperature detecting means 19 mounted in the condenser 14 for detecting the condensation temperature of a refrigerant; and control means 25 for controlling the operation. The control means 25 detects defective drainage of dehumidifying water by detecting the condensation temperature of the refrigerant by the condensation temperature detecting means 19.
