A dishwasher is disclosed. The dishwasher includes a cabinet, a tub defining a washing space therein, a sump disposed under and coupled to the tub, a pump for transferring washing water stored in the sump, and a base defining a lower part of the cabinet, wherein the sump includes a sump mount, the sump mount being temporarily mounted on the base, and the base includes a first position guide, the sump mount being mounted on the first position guide so as to guide the sump to a coupling position with respect to the base.

Support structures for dishwashers are disclosed. An example dishwasher for treating dishes according to a cycle of operation includes a tub defining a treating chamber with an opening, a frame coupled to and structurally supporting at least a portion of the tub, a dish rack mount coupled to the frame, and a dish rack coupled to the dish rack mount, wherein the weight of the dish rack is substantially borne by the frame.

An appliance for treatment of items may include: a body defining a chamber to hold the items during treatment; a door to close the chamber during treatment; a base having an opening at an edge of the base, the body being supported on the base; a valve located in the opening; and a clip attached to the base at the opening such that the valve is secured in the opening between the clip and the base.

The present invention relates to a dishwasher in which a blowing part, a heater part, and a absorbent, which constitute a sorption drying device, are arranged between a sump and a rear surface of a base so as to be as close as possible to the rear surface of the base and arranged in a long line in a leftward/rightward direction, such that the sorption drying device may effectively serve as a counterweight for preventing the dishwasher from falling over, and a volume and weight of a weight balance additionally provided may be reduced.

A dish washer includes: a tub configured to receive an object to be washed and providing a washing space having an opening at a front side of the tub, a door configured to rotate relative to the tub between (i) a closing position that closes the opening of the washing space and (ii) a full opening position that exposes an entirety of the opening of the washing space, and a door position sensing part configured to sense a position of the door. The door position sensing part is configured to sense whether the door moves from the closing position and whether the door reaches a predetermined risk area start position set between the closing position and the full opening position.

The door position sensing part is configured to sense whether the door moves from the closing position and whether the door reaches a predetermined risk area start position set between the closing position and the full opening position.

A dishwasher comprises: a tub that forms a washing chamber; a spray unit that sprays water into the washing chamber; a sump housing that includes a first coupling portion; a pump, coupleable to the sump housing, and includes a second coupling portion; and a pump holder that connects the first coupling portion of the sump housing and the second coupling portion of the pump to thereby allow the pump to be mounted on the sump housing. In order to prevent the pump from separating from the sump housing, at least one of the first coupling portion or the second coupling portion may include a first extension portion extending along a first direction and a second extension portion extending from the first extension portion along a second direction intersecting with the first direction.

A dishwasher for automatically executing a cycle of operation for treatment of dishes includes a tub having multiple walls at least partially defining a treating chamber for receiving dishes for treatment wherein at least one of the multiple walls is thermoformed from sheet material and a method of making a tub for a dishwasher.

A guide rail structure, for use with a bowl basket and including a guide rail base having a guide rail surface on an upper side thereof. The guide rail base is provided with a plurality of side water guide grooves. Each side water guide groove has one defined in the guide rail surface and another notch arranged on a left side or a right side of the guide rail base. The plurality of side water guide grooves are arranged at an interval along an extension direction of the guide rail surface. A ratio of a groove width of each side water guide groove to a wheel diameter of the roller is less than , and a ratio of a groove depth of each of side water guide groove defined in the guide surface to a width of the guide rail surface is less than 1.

A dishwasher appliance includes a frame member defining a first attachment aperture and a second attachment aperture, a wash tub positioned adjacent the frame member and defining a wash chamber for receipt of a load of articles, and a routing component mounted to the frame member. The routing component includes a mounting structure for engaging the frame member through the first attachment aperture and the second attachment aperture, a hose retainer for retaining a drain hose of the dishwasher appliance, and a wiring harness retainer for retaining a wiring harness of the dishwasher appliance.
