DISH TREATING APPLIANCE WITH AN AIR SUPPLY CIRCUIT
A dish treating appliance includes a tub at least partially defining a treating chamber with an access opening. A door is movable relative to the tub between closed and opened positions to selectively close and open the access opening. The dish treating appliance further includes an air supply circuit. The air supply circuit includes an air inlet and an air outlet facing an upper portion of the access opening. An air channel fluidly couples the air outlet to the air inlet.
Tablet dosing system and water-carrying domestic cleaning apparatus equipped therewith
A tablet dosing system, in particular for a domestic dishwasher, includes a magazine for stocking cleaning tablets in a plurality of stacks arranged side by side in a row, and an extractor for extracting cleaning tablets from the magazine. The extractor comprises an extractor member which is arranged to be movable relative to the magazine and which is adapted, without changing the position of the stacks, to serve each of the stacks for the purpose of extracting cleaning tablets. The extractor member is in the form of an extractor roller having a plurality of extraction pockets distributed along the roller axis for each receiving at least one cleaning tablet from the stacks or the extractor member is in the form of a linearly movable extractor slider which is able to serve two adjacent stacks alternately for the purpose of tablet extraction.
Status indicator and lighting assembly for an appliance door
A door assembly for an appliance includes an inner door panel and outer door panel that define an interior chamber for receiving at least a first light source and a second light source. An indicator lens extends from a split receiving surface facing the light sources to an indicator aperture defined in the outer door panel. The split receiving surface has a first surface for receiving light from the first light source and a second surface for receiving light from the second light source. In addition, an opaque partition is positioned between the first light source and the second light source for at least partially blocking light from first light source and the second light source from bleeding onto the second surface and the first surface, respectively.
FRONT INDICATOR LIGHTING ASSEMBLY FOR AN APPLIANCE DOOR
A door assembly for an appliance includes a door frame having a top edge and a user interface board positioned at the top edge of the door frame. A console cover is positioned over the user interface board and has a top surface defining a plurality of touch buttons and a front surface defining a front indicator extending at least partially along the vertical direction adjacent the top edge of the door frame. A side-fire light source is mounted on the user interface board for selectively emitting light energy toward the front indicator.
DISHWASHER WITH DETERGENT DISPENSER
A dishwasher detergent dispenser having a set of restraints configured to retain a detergent tablet in a cavity of the detergent dispenser, and a water outlet configured to release water to a top section of the detergent dispenser.
Device for dispensing cleaning agent
A device for dispensing detergent into a dishwasher, comprising a cover element for closing off or opening up at least one opening (2) of a reservoir (1) for storing the detergent, wherein the reservoir (1) has at least one base wall (8) arranged opposite the opening (2) and at least one side wall (7) oriented transversely to the base wall (8), is proposed, which device improves on the prior art. This is achieved according to the invention by virtue of the fact that at least one water conducting element (5, 9) is arranged for the conductance and/or guidance of water.
Dishwasher appliance with a sidefire LED lightguide
A dishwasher appliance includes a user interface panel positioned on a door at a top edge of the door. A circuit board is positioned within the door. A user touch input and a side-fire light emitting diode are mounted to the circuit board. A lightguide is positioned within the door. An inlet of the lightguide is positioned proximate the side-fire light emitting diode, and an outlet of the lightguide positioned below the circuit board. The side-fire light emitting diode is operable to emit light, and the lightguide is configured such that the light from the side-fire light emitting diode is reflected within the lightguide from the inlet of the lightguide to the outlet of the lightguide in order to illuminate an indicator at the outlet of the lightguide with the light from the side-fire light emitting diode.
DISHWASHER DOOR AND DISPENSER MOUNTING BRACKET ASSEMBLY
A dishwasher or dishwasher door, as provided herein, may include an inner panel and a dispenser assembly. The inner panel may define a stamped hole extending along an aperture axis. The dispenser assembly may be mounted to the inner panel. The dispenser assembly may include a retaining cup, a radial lip, a flat compression gasket, and a discrete bracket. The retaining cup may have an interior surface defining an additive compartment and an exterior surface defining a relief outside of the additive compartment. The retaining cup may be positioned through the stamped hole. The radial lip may be joined to the retaining cup forward from the stamped hole. The flat compression gasket may be disposed about the retaining cup against a front surface of the inner panel. The discrete bracket may be held between a back surface of the inner panel and the relief of the retaining cup.
DISHWASHER WITH SOUND ATTENUATION
A dishwasher having a treating chamber with one or more sprayers through which liquid is recirculated into the treating chamber, whereby the impact of the spray emitted from the sprayers impacts the structure forming the treating chamber to generate noise. Damping material is applied to structure forming the treating chamber to reduce the sound level of the impact exterior of the dishwasher.
Home appliance having leveling door handle
A home appliance in which an opening and closing operation of a door and a turning operation of a handle are connected through five joints, so that the turning operation of the handle can be performed smoothly, and a latch for fixing the door to a body moves to a position parallel to the door when the door is opened, so that a user is prevented from being interfered with the latch while opening the door and using a cavity of the home appliance.
