Abstract

In an improved washer-dryer apparatus which performs wash, spin-dry and dry cycles in a sequential order, a microcomputer used therefor controls a motor to repeatedly rotate in forward and backward directions at short time intervals after the spin-dry cycle, thereby performing a loosening cycle once or more times in which laundry stuck to the interior peripheral wall surface of the spin basket is uniformly distributed or dispersed in the basket. This is followed by the dry cycle. Thus, the heated air is conducted all over the laundry in the spin basket, making it possible to uniformly dry the laundry and to prevent it from becoming wrinkled.
