The invention discloses an evaporator assembly for a clothes dryer and the clothes dryer provided with same. The evaporator assembly comprises an evaporator, a water accumulation container, a water storage container, a water draining pipe and a cleaning pipe, wherein an upper end opening and a water accumulation cavity for receiving condensed water flowing from the evaporator are defined in the water accumulation container, the water draining pipe is communicated with the water accumulation container and the water storage container, a water draining pump for driving water in the water accumulation container to flow towards the water storage container is arranged on the water draining pipe, the cleaning pipe is communicated with at least one evaporator in the water accumulation container and the water storage container, and a cleaning pump is arranged on the cleaning pipe and used for driving water in at least one of the water accumulation container and the water storage container to flow towards the evaporator. According to the embodiment, the evaporator assembly for the clothes dryer can achieve condensed water discharge, meanwhile can utilize the condensed water of the clothes dryer to flush dirty flocks and the like on the evaporator so as to achieve the self-cleaning purpose, the water flowing speed and flow are improved, and a cleaning effect is improved.
