A system includes a dishwasher having a dishwasher cavity, a door for closing the dishwasher cavity, and a number of receptacles receiving items to be washed. A control apparatus executes a washing program from a plurality of washing programs so as to wash the items to be washed. A pivoting facility is provided to automatically pivot the door, and a movement facility automatically moves at least one of the receptacles. An ascertaining unit ascertains a loading request of a user of a number of loading requests for loading and unloading the dishwasher cavity, and a determining unit determines a movement sequence including a pivoting of the door and a movement of one of the receptacles based on the ascertained loading request. An actuation unit actuates the pivoting facility and the movement facility so as to perform the determined movement sequence.

A wall mounted dishwasher incorporates storage into an exterior door of the dishwasher to facilitate user access to utensils stored in the dishwasher. The exterior door may be hinged and configured to rotate about a substantially vertical axis, and one or more spray devices and/or one or more fluid collection pans may be integrated into the exterior door.

A method of counterbalancing a dishwasher door pivotal about a range of rotation between an opened position and a closed position on a dishwasher cabinet. The method comprises applying a varying counterbalancing force to the dishwasher door throughout the range of rotation to effect at least two of true-hold, auto-close, or slow-open of the door.

The present invention relates to a domestic appliance, particularly a cooking oven, comprising a chassis and a door hinged to the chassis at a rotating axis of the door, wherein the door comprises at least one door panel, at least one door frame attached at an inner side of the door panel, at least one electric or electronic unit attached inside or at the door, at least one electrically conducting cable for interconnecting the electric or electronic unit to a control unit arranged at or in the chassis of the domestic appliance, at least one cable channel attached or attachable to the door frame for guiding a first section of the cable, and at least one cable tube arranged within the region of a rotating axis of the door for guiding a second section of the cable from the door frame to the chassis, wherein the cable tube comprises a main section, and a first end section for connecting the cable tube to the hinge-sided end of the door and a second end section for connecting the cable tube to the chassis, wherein the main section is connecting the first end section the second end section, and wherein at least one of the first end section and/or the second end section configured to be freely pivotable relative to a rotational axis (y) running essentially in parallel to the main section.

Proposed is a hinge device having tension maintaining function, the hinge device including: a winding member affixed to a main body of a mounted structure having an inner space formed therein; a hinge member affixed to a door that opens or closes the inner space and mounted on the winding member so as to enable the door to be pivotable; and a tension member having one end affixed to the winding member and the other end affixed to the hinge member, such that the tension member transmits a tension to the door when opening and closing the door.

A shelf for an appliance such as a dish washing appliance. The shelf may include an intermediate wheel shelf. The intermediate wheel shelf may include a biasing member. The intermediate wheel shelf may be pivotable between one or more positions. The intermediate wheel shelf may form a substantially continuous wheel shelf configuration with one or more wheel shelves.

A household dishwasher includes a dishwasher cavity, a door attached pivotably to the dishwasher cavity, a door opening and closing device for automated opening and closing of the door, and a control unit designed to actuate the door opening and closing device. The control unit is designed to detect a motor current of a drive element of the door opening and closing device and to evaluate the detected motor current as to whether the door opening and closing device is functional or non-functional.

A dishwasher for treating dishes according to a cycle of operation, the dishwasher comprising a tub at least partially defining a treating chamber, a dish rack received within the treating chamber and configured for receiving dishes for treatment during the cycle of operation, a sprayer located within the treating chamber and above the dish rack, and emitting a liquid onto the dish rack to form a high-speed spray.

A dishwasher for treating dishes according to a cycle of operation, the dishwasher comprising a tub at least partially defining a treating chamber, a dish rack received within the treating chamber and configured for receiving dishes for treatment during the cycle of operation, a sprayer located within the treating chamber and above the dish rack, and emitting a second liquid at a second speed, greater than the first speed, downwardly onto the dish rack to form a high-speed spray.

A dishwasher for treating dishes according to an automatic cycle of operation includes a tub at least partially defining a treating chamber with an access opening, a sump fluidly coupled to the tub, and a liquid recirculation circuit fluidly coupling the sump to the treating chamber. The liquid recirculation circuit includes at least one rotating spray tube having a longitudinal body axis defining a rotational axis. The at least one rotating spray tube comprises a hollow tube having first and second opposing ends with the first end fluidly coupled to the liquid recirculation circuit and the second end comprising a drain valve. The hollow tube has a single wall and a longitudinal body axis defining a rotational axis and plurality of spray nozzles are arranged about the longitudinal body axis on an exterior of the single wall.
