Summary:The present invention discloses an air conditioner that performs a drying operation of drying the interior of the air conditioner after performing the cooling operation. The air conditioner includes: a housing having a discharge port and a plurality of holes; a door capable of closing the discharge port; a heat exchanger provided in the housing; a compressor connected to the heat exchanger and circulating a refrigerant through the heat exchanger; a fan for blowing air so that the air passes through the heat exchanger and is discharged through at least one of the discharge port and the plurality of holes; a humidity sensor provided in the housing and sensing humidity of air passing through the heat exchanger; and a control unit that controls the door to open or close the discharge port and rotates the fan based on the humidity sensed by the humidity sensor while the compressor is stopped. 냉방 운전을 수행한 이후 공기 조화기의 내부를 건조하는 건조 운전을 수행하는 공기 조화기가 개시된다. 공기 조화기는 토출구와 복수의 홀이 형성된 하우징; 토출구를 폐쇄할 수 있는 도어; 하우징 내에 마련된 열 교환기; 열 교환기와 연결되어, 열 교환기를 통과하도록 냉매를 순환시키는 압축기; 공기가 열 교환기를 통과하고 토출구와 복수의 홀 중 적어도 하나를 통하여 토출되도록, 공기를 송풍하는 팬; 하우징 내에 마련되어, 열 교환기를 통과한 공기의 습도를 감지하는 습도 센서; 및 압축기를 정지한 중에, 습도 센서에 의하여 감지된 습도에 기초하여, 토출구를 개방하거나 폐쇄하도록 도어를 제어하고 팬을 회전시키는 제어부를 포함할 수 있다.
