Abstract
A dryer includes a heat pump system provided as a heat source for heating air supplied to a drum. The dryer includes a controller configured to perform operations that include selecting one of a plurality of operation modes in which initial driving frequencies are different from one another and inputting a drying start command to the dryer by a user, checking an outer temperature and comparing the outer temperature with a preset reference temperature T, performing the operation mode selected by the user, in a case where the outer temperature is equal to or more than the reference temperature T, performing an operation mode in which the initial driving frequency of the compressor is the highest of the plurality of operation modes, in a case where the outer temperature is less than the reference temperature T.
