An insulation device for a receiving area of a household appliance includes an insulation element made of a viscoelastic polyurethane foam for acoustically insulating the receiving area, and a stiffening element stiffening the insulation element and firmly connected to the insulation element.

An appliance is provided. The appliance includes a cellulose-based insulator. The cellulose-based insulator has a basis weight of 80 g/m.sup.2 to 500 g/m.sup.2 and an airflow resistance of 500 mks rayls to 2,500 mks rayls. The cellulose-based insulator attenuates low frequency noise and exhibits excellent fire resistance.

A household appliance includes a receiving region, and an insulating element attached to the receiving region and is set up to acoustically insulate the receiving region. The insulating element includes a foamed matrix material and particles embedded in the matrix material.

A dishwasher appliance includes a caloric heat pump system that is configured for heating and cooling a wash chamber of a tub. A field generator is positioned such that caloric material stages are moved in and out of a field of the field generator during operation of the caloric heat pump system. A pump circulates a heat transfer fluid between a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger and the caloric material stages.

The present disclosure relates to a dishwasher. The dishwasher of the present disclosure includes a tub forming a washing chamber washing a washing target, a first circulation duct in which an air discharged from the tub flows, an outside air inflow duct in which an air from the outside flows, a fan assembly discharging the air thereto, passes through the first circulation duct and the outside air inflow duct, a second circulation duct heating and supplying a part of the air discharged from the fan assembly to the tub, an exhaust duct discharging a remaining part of the air discharged from the fan assembly to the outside.

A rack mounting assembly for supporting a third rack assembly within a tub of a dishwasher appliance is provided. The tub defines a wash chamber and a plurality of apertures spaced apart along a transverse direction. The rack mounting assembly includes a mounting body positioned inside the wash chamber and a latching arm positioned outside the wash chamber. The mounting body and/or latching arm include complementary features that pass through the plurality of apertures defined in the tub for engaging each other and securing the mounting body to the tub.

A dishwasher comprises: (a) a washing chamber for accommodating articles to be cleaned, and comprising in its lower portion a water-collecting sump floor (12); (b) a spray arm (22) rotatably supported at the sump floor; in accordance with the present invention the dishwasher further comprises (c) a sump member (28) which comprises an insert in the sump floor (12) and which comprises an integral spray arm support (24) which rotatably supports the spray arm (22).

A household dishwasher includes a washing container holding a dishwasher load, and a spray arm for applying washing liquor and/or fresh water to the dishwasher load. The spray arm is mounted for rotation about an axis of rotation and is actively driven by a drive entity. The drive entity includes a drive shaft mounted for rotation about an axis of rotation which extends in parallel relation to and at a distance from the axis of rotation of the spray arm.

Disclosed herein is a dish washing machine. The dish washing machine includes a washing tub in which dishes are stored, a nozzle provided at one side of the washing tub to spray washing water, a vane configured to move in the washing tub and deflect the washing water sprayed from the nozzle toward the dishes, a vane holder movably combined with a rail configured to guide a movement of the vane and configured to support the vane, a driving source configured to generate power for driving the vane to reciprocate, a belt driven to transfer the power generated by the driving source to the vane, and a direction changing member with one end configured to rotate with respect to the vane holder and another end configured to rotatably move with the belt when a movement direction of the vane is changed.

A dishwasher, in particular a household dishwasher, includes a wash container for holding items to be washed. The wash container has a front loading opening and is reinforced by a reinforcement element along at least one front edge region of the wash container. A cover arrangement is provided to at least partially cover at least one gap formed outside a water-conducting region of the wash container between the wash container and at least one surface running along the front edge region of the wash container. The cover arrangement includes at least one cover element having a fastening segment which is defined by an I-shaped cross section and extends in its longitudinal direction parallel to the surface. The I-shaped fastening segment is fixed in a fastening segment having a U-shaped cross section and configured on the reinforcement element.
