    Abstract: A clothing dryer is provided. The clothing dryer includes a water tray provided to store residual water including condensate generated by drying of laundry, a drain pump provided to pump the residual water in the water tray to an outside, a sensor provided to detect a residual water amount of the condensate stored in the water tray, memory storing one or more computer programs, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the clothing dryer to control a drain processing speed of the drain pump, and control the drain pump so that the drain processing speed is slower when the residual water amount of the condensate is smaller than a first threshold level than when the residual water amount of the condensate is larger than or equal to the first threshold level, based on residual water data provided by the sensor, wherein the drain processing speed is determined by at least one of a rotational speed of the drain pump or a driving time of the drain pump.
