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 warewash machine carries out at least one of (i) delivering both compressed air and rinse liquid to a plurality of wash spray nozzles of the warewash machine for spraying onto the wares during at least part of a washing operation of a ware cleaning cycle, wherein the wash liquid is recirculated from a wash tank below the spray zone; or (ii) lowering wares from the spray zone into a wash tank below the spray zone to submerge the wares within wash liquid of the wash tank and delivering compressed air into the wash tank during at least part of a washing operation of a ware cleaning cycle; or (iii) delivering both compressed air and rinse liquid to a plurality of rinse spray nozzles of the warewash machine for spraying onto the wares during at least part of a rinsing operation of a ware cleaning cycle.

Provided are an air exhausting device for kitchenware, a dishwasher, and kitchenware. The air exhausting device for kitchenware includes: an air duct including an air outlet end and a first connecting portion disposed on the air outlet end; and an air outlet member including an air inlet end and a second connecting portion provided on the air inlet end, and an air outlet end of the air outlet member being provided with an air outlet port. The first connecting portion is slidably coupled to the second connecting portion for adjusting a relative position of the air outlet port and the air duct.

A method of controlling a dishwasher includes washing an object accommodated inside a tub by spraying water and detergent onto the object, rinsing the object by spraying water onto the object, drying the object by removing moisture adhered to the object, detecting an amount of a rinsing agent, comparing the detected amount of the rinsing agent to a predetermined amount, based on the comparison, determining whether the detected amount of the rinsing agent is less than the predetermined amount, and increasing at least one of a temperature of water to be supplied in the rinsing or a drying time in the drying based on determining that the detected amount of the rinsing agent is less than the predetermined amount.

A vent fan for use with the dishwasher and providing a vent door covering the opening associated with a motorized fan employs a mechanical coupling between the fan motor and vent door to eliminate the need for a separate vent door actuator by using energy of the fan motor to accomplish the actuation.

A dishwasher includes: a tub including a washing room; and a dryer installed on one side of the tub, the dryer including: a first housing coupled with the tub and communicating with the washing room; a second housing coupled with an other side of the first housing, and forming a flow path together with the first housing so that inside air of the washing room circulates back to the washing room by passing through the flow path; a heater accommodated inside the first housing and the second housing to heat the air passing through the flow path; and a switch module positioned upstream of the heater, configured to detect an inside temperature of the flow path to turn on or off the heater based on the detected inside temperature, and fixed between the first housing and the second housing by coupling of the first housing with the second housing.

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.

A dishwasher includes a tub having an air outlet, an airflow conduit fluidly coupling the tub air outlet to ambient air, a blower assembly forcing air to flow from the tub and through the tub air outlet into the airflow conduit, a first reservoir associated with the airflow conduit and collecting liquid condensed from the air forced through the airflow conduit, the first reservoir fluidly coupled to the tub for draining the collected liquid into the tub, and a second reservoir associated with the airflow conduit downstream of the first reservoir and collecting liquid condensed from the air prior to the exhaustion of the air to the ambient air, wherein any liquid not collected by the first reservoir is collected by the second reservoir for evaporation.

Disclosed herein is a dishwasher having a structure capable of reducing energy consumption, and improving drying performance. The dishwasher includes a body, a washing tub provided inside the body and a drying unit in which a dehumidifying member is rotatably accommodated, wherein the dehumidifying member may include a dehumidifying area and a regenerating area separated from the dehumidifying area to perform dehumidifying and regenerating concurrently.

A drying apparatus for domestic machines such as dishwashers, washing machines or the like, having a liquid drying agent, a tank for the liquid drying agent and a rotatable distributor element for distributing the drying agent, and also a drive for the distributor element, wherein provision is made of a tank inlet for the return flow of the drying agent and a tank outlet for the removal of the drying agent, is proposed, said drying apparatus being improved in terms of leakage safety compared with the prior art. This is achieved according to the invention in that at least one closure element for closing the tank inlet and/or the tank outlet in a liquid-tight manner is provided.
