A dishwasher appliance includes an apron frame, a wash tub positioned on top of the apron frame and defining a wash chamber for receipt of a load of articles, and a dampening tub support positioned between the apron frame and the wash tub. The dampening tub support includes a mounting structure that is attached to the apron frame and defines a tub support surface for supporting the wash tub and a resilient member lining the tub support surface between the mounting structure and the wash tub.

A heat pump dishwasher includes a chassis and a heat pump system. A liquid collecting groove is provided at an upper side of the chassis. The heat pump system includes an evaporator and a compressor, both the evaporator and the compressor are installed at the chassis, and the compressor is installed at the liquid collecting groove. Condensed water may be collected, and condensation water may be avoided in the liquid collecting groove and may reduce the corrosion of the liquid collecting groove and may reduce interruptions to the operation of electrical components.

A dishwasher minimizes the flow of wash water, being scattered in a washing stage or a rinsing stage, into an airflow guide through a discharge opening and the remaining wash water in the airflow guide, and prevents the reverse inflow of wash water having passed through the airflow guide to a dry air supply part.

A dishwasher and method of operating a dishwasher according to a cycle of operation includes a set of electrical components, a controller operably coupled to the set of electrical components, and an electrical connector electrically coupling the controller to at least one electrical component in the set of electrical components.

A dishwashing appliance may include a housing frame, a wash tub, and a damper brace. The housing frame may define a bottom end of the dishwashing appliance. The wash tub may be supported on the housing frame. The wash tub may extend along a vertical direction between an upper end and a lower end. The wash tub may extend along a transverse direction between a rearward end and a forward end. The wash tub may define a wash chamber and a front opening to the wash chamber for receipt of articles for washing. The damper brace may be disposed above the bottom end.

A fluid flow structure for a washing machine is located within a wash tank of the washing machine, which includes a fluid flow guide surface, and a support for the guide surface. The guide surface includes at least one region contoured inconsistently from the contour of at least one corresponding wall of the washing machine wash tank. The contour of the guide surface is generally curved so as to aide in reducing and/or preventing the pinning of items that often occurs in rectangular wash tanks of the prior art. The support for the guide surface creates a gap between the guide surface and at least one wall of the washing machine wash tank.

A dishwashing apparatus may include a sump. The sump may include a sump pan configured to couple with a wash chamber of the dishwashing apparatus. The sump may include a sump well coupled to the sump pan and configured to collect the liquid from the sump pan. The sump well may include a well inlet in communication with the sump pan. The sump pan may convey the liquid to the well inlet. A recirculation port extending through a first wall of the sump well. A drain port may extend through a second wall of the sump well. The second wall defines a bottom of the sump well. The dishwashing apparatus may include a controller. The controller may monitor electrical characteristics of a pump. The controller may provide a notification if fluid is not flowing through the pump.

The dampening tub support includes a mounting structure that is attached to the apron frame and defines a tub support surface for supporting the wash tub and a resilient member lining the tub support surface between the mounting structure and the wash tub.

The present invention relates to a dishwasher which can effectively prevent a drying air supply part or a base from being damaged by a vibration occurring during a washing operation and an external impact resulting from, for example, a drop test, can prevent the drying air supply part from physically coming into direct contact with the base, and can minimize the amount of heat transferred from the drying air supply part to the base.
