A dishwasher includes: a tub which defines a space in which dishes are washed; a sump which accommodates washing water to be supplied into the tub; and a descaling solution supply device which supplies a descaling solution to the sump, in which the descaling solution supply device includes: a main flow path which guides washing water to be supplied to the sump; a solution accommodating unit which accommodates a descaling agent and has a solution outlet through which washing water, in which the descaling agent is dissolved, is discharged to the main flow path; a solution discharge valve which opens and closes the solution outlet; and a branch flow path which branches off from the main flow path, supplies the washing water into the solution accommodating unit, and has an atmosphere communicating port that communicates with the atmosphere.

A current operational state of a program-controlled domestic appliance is monitored while it carries out an operating process. The monitoring system includes a retrofit module and a communication device separate from the retrofit module and from the domestic appliance. The retrofit module has a fastening arrangement for releasable fastening on an outer face of an appliance housing, a data exchange unit for wireless communication, and a sensor arrangement with a magnetic field sensor that detects a magnetic field that is generated by a drive motor of the domestic appliance and that penetrates outwards through the appliance housing. The system determines the current operational state of the domestic appliance with the aid of detected measured values of the magnetic field and outputs the state via the communication device.

Disclosed a controlling method of a dishwasher comprising a water supply step for supplying wash water, a preliminary washing step for injecting the wash water to one or more dishes, a main washing step for injecting the wash water mixed with washing liquid to the dishes, a rinsing step for injecting the wash water to the dishes, and a heating step for heating the wash water in one or more of the preliminary washing step, the main washing step and he rinsing step, wherein a heater sensing step for determining an operational state of a heater heating the wash water is performed in the heating step in a state where the circulation of wash water is stopped.

A water-conducting domestic appliance, in particular a domestic dishwasher, the water-conducting domestic appliance including a washing compartment for receiving items therein that are to be subjected to a washing cycle by the water-conducting domestic appliance; a detergent dosing system, the detergent dosing system having a detergent dispenser with a receiving compartment, the receiving area for receiving at least one cartridge that is configured to hold at least one detergent; and a cartridge having separate chambers for storing at least two detergents, each chamber having a storage capacity for storing detergent that is greater than a quantity of detergent required for one washing cycle.

A dishwasher and a controlling method thereof are provided. The dishwasher according to an embodiment includes a display, a user interface, memory storing at least one instruction, and one or more processors configured to execute the at least one instruction, and the one or more processors are configured to, based on the dishwasher being turned on, control the display to display a first GUI corresponding to at least one dishwashing course, based on a user input for selecting a dishwashing course being received through the user interface, control the display to display a second GUI including an animation effect that indicates dish loading information corresponding to the selected dishwashing course, based on a dishwashing operation being started based on the selected dishwashing course, control the display to display a third GUI indicating the dishwashing course and dishwashing time.

The present invention relates to a dishwasher, which allows a washing course to be changed to a low-noise course in real time with a simple operation by using a user terminal while the dishwasher is running, and to a method for controlling a washing course of the dishwasher. The dishwasher, according to embodiments of the present invention, may comprise: an input unit that receives a course change signal commanding to change to a low-noise course having a noise level lower than a noise level of a washing course; a storage unit storing, as data, the speed of a washing motor of the low-noise course corresponding to each washing stage of the washing course; and a control unit that, when the course change signal is input, recognizes the washing stage of the washing course, changes to the speed of the washing motor of the low-noise course corresponding to the recognized washing stage, and controls the washing stage of the low-noise course.

A dishwasher and a terminal device which creates a washing course to serve a purpose of use based on a user input and provides at least an expected amount of power to be supplied and an expected amount of water to be supplied for the created washing course. The terminal device includes a display for displaying an operating condition of a default washing course of the dishwasher; an input for receiving a command to change the operating condition from a user; and a controller for controlling the display to display at least one of an expected amount of power to be supplied, an expected amount of water to be supplied, and an expected time, which is changed according to a user-set washing course in response to the command received to change the operating condition of the default washing course.

A dishwasher includes a body including an opening through which an object to be washed is loaded, a door to be connected with one side of the body and while the door is connected to the one side of the body, the door selectively opens and closes the body, a driving device that drives the door to be selectively opened on the body, a memory to store at least one instruction, and at least one processor configured to execute the at least one instruction, and control the driving device such that the door is opened in relation to a drying cycle, wherein the at least one processor is configured to obtain an operation state of a heating device around the dishwasher, and based on opening of the door being necessary, adjust a time point of opening the door in relation to the drying cycle based on the obtained operation state.
