Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a domestic dryer and a method for detecting a rotary movement of a drum (16) driven by a motor (24), which takes place by means of a device (44) which comprises a capacitive sensor (45). This capacitive sensor (45) has a first conducting armature (46) arranged in a part (50) that rotates with the drum (16) during its rotary movement and a second conducting armature (48) which is arranged fixedly opposite the first conducting armature (46). On the basis of the capacitance variation of the capacitive sensor (45) occurring during the rotary movement of the drum (16) it can therefore be determined whether the drum (16) has stopped due to a fault.
