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 non-welded field joint for connecting two portions of a pot and pan washing machine together as a single unit is provided.

A washing container for a household dishwasher includes a bottom plate and a U-shaped washing container jacket arranged on the bottom plate and including a side wall which is connected to the bottom plate by a folded joint. Connected to the washing container jacket is a U-shaped frame to support the washing container jacket. The frame has a support rib, which rises from the frame and is arranged within the washing container jacket and on which the folded joint is supported. The support rib has a closed support surface on which the folded joint lies.

An apparatus for removing moisture as liquid from moisture-laden air in an appliance is provided. The apparatus includes a body that defines a channel extending from a first position to a second position and a serpentine flow path between the first position and the second position that operates to redirect the moisture-laden air to remove the liquid from the moisture-laden air. The body includes an opening at the serpentine flow path that is closed when the apparatus is secured to the wall of the appliance. In operation, the body cooperates with the wall to cause the moisture-laden air entering the channel at the first position through an inlet opening in the wall to pass into the serpentine flow path to remove the liquid from the moisture-laden air before the liquid exits the channel at the second position through an outlet opening in the wall.

Assembly (1) for dispensing washing agents in the washing chamber (C) of a washing machine, including an integrated dispensing device for washing agents (2), comprising a body (2a) which is intended to be mounted through an opening of a sheet-like wall (F) which delimits the washing chamber (C).

The assembly (1) further comprises a reservoir (3) for liquid detergent which may be removably coupled to the body (2a) of the device for dispensing washing agents (2), and which may be positioned on the side of the device for dispensing washing agents (2) intended to face the washing chamber (C). The reservoir has a holding chamber (3d) for liquid detergent able to communicate with the outside of the reservoir (3) through at least one outlet opening (12b) for dispensing liquid detergent and an actuator assembly (21, 22, 23, 24) to control the dispensing of liquid detergent from the reservoir (3).

Techniques are provided for constructing an adjustable kick panel assembly that is removable, adjustable, and attachable without the use of a tool. In one or more implementations, a bracket having a clip is inserted into a slot on a kick panel, and then twisted to secure the bracket to the kick panel. The bracket allows for height adjustment of the kick panel without a tool. The complete kick panel assembly is then attached to the base of an appliance by inserting the clip into a housing on the base.
