Abstract
A laundry treating apparatus comprises a drum receiving clothes; a fan supplying air to the drum; a heater heating the air supplied to the drum; and a dry level sensing unit determining a dry level of the clothes. A control method comprises setting a dry time; supplying air to the clothes by operating the fan or operating the fan and the heater, and controlled to be performed for the dry time; and resetting the dry time, when the dry level measured by the dry level sensing unit at a time past a preset reference time period from the start of the air supply step is less than a preset reference dry level, wherein resetting the dry time step adds more time to the reference time period.
