A dishwashing appliance includes a cabinet, a cabinet door for opening and closing the cabinet, a tub provided in the cabinet, the tub defining a wash chamber, an outlet defined at a first portion of the tub, an inlet defined at a second portion of the tub, an air flow duct defined between the inlet and the outlet, wherein air enters the air flow duct from the tub via the outlet and exits the air flow duct to the tub via the inlet, and an access panel removably attached to the air flow duct, the access panel defining a mounting plate protruding from an interior surface of the access panel.

A tubular spray element for a dishwasher is rotatably supported and/or supplied with fluid at an intermediate location along the length of the tubular spray element, such that least one aperture that directs fluid into a wash tub is disposed on each side of the intermediate location. In addition, a tubular spray element drive may be positioned externally from the wash tub and mechanically coupled to the tubular spray element through a shaft seal such that the fluid supply to the tubular spray element can be entirely within the wash tub.

A dishwasher with a tub that at least partially defines a treating chamber with an access opening, a closure moveable relative to the tub to selectively open and close the access opening, a lower dish holder located within the treating chamber, a middle dish holder located within the treating chamber above the lower dish holder, and an upper dish holder located within the treating chamber above the middle dish holder and having container supports defining a support surface.

A dishwasher system for cleaning dishes may include a dishwasher tub configured to house dishes therein and run a dishwasher cycle, a door assembly configured to selectively seal the dishwasher tub, the door assembly including an inlet nozzle arranged on the inside of the door assembly, the inlet nozzle extending across the width of the door at the top of the door assembly to receive hot and moist air post wash from the dishwasher tub, and a duct fluidly connected to the inlet nozzle and configured to transfer the air through the door assembly and out an outlet nozzle during a drying phase of the dishwasher cycle prior to the door assembly being opened post-cycle.

A distribution cap is configured to couple to a nozzle of a dish washer and to guide air from the nozzle to be discharged in a discharge direction. The distribution cap includes a fitting pipe configured to couple to the nozzle, a first bypass pipe that is connected to the fitting pipe and extends in a direction different from the discharge direction, where the first bypass pipe is configured to be positioned above the nozzle based on the fitting pipe being coupled to the nozzle, and a second bypass pipe that extends from an end portion of the first bypass pipe in the discharge direction, where the second bypass pipe defines a discharge opening at an end portion thereof.

A cap is configured to couple to a nozzle of a dish washer that is configured to supply air into a tub of the dish washer. The cap includes a lower cap configured to couple to an upper end portion of the nozzle, a flow cover configured to cover a part of the upper end portion of the nozzle, and an upper cap coupled to the lower cap and configured to, based on the cap being coupled to the nozzle, be spaced apart from and positioned above the nozzle and the flow cover. The cap defines a discharge opening configured to discharge air supplied to an inner space of the cap through the nozzle.

A dishwasher includes a tub, a door, and a drying device configured to supply air to a washing space in the tub. The drying device includes a condensing duct disposed outside the tub, a cold air supply module that is disposed outside the tub and defines a heat exchange flow path part adjoining the condensing duct, and a fan configured to cause air flow in the condensing duct. The condensing duct includes an upstream portion communicating with the inlet port and extending above the inlet port and then downward, and a heat exchange portion connected to the upstream portion and extending downward to the heat exchange flow path part. A height of an upper end of the heat exchange flow path part is equal to or larger than a height of a lower end of the inlet port.
