A dishwasher (10) provides a motorized latch element extending to open the dishwasher door (18) for venting according to sense positions. A robust rack and pinion mechanism driven by a DC motor (50) provides flexible positioning of the door for different applications while ensuring sufficient force to compress the dishwasher gasket for sealing.

A seal for a dish washer and a dish washer having the seal are provided. The seal has a side seal part, a radial seal part and a mounting part. The side seal part seals a gap between an inner side surface of a water tank of the dish washer and a door body of the dish washer. The radial seal part is connected to the side seal part and seals a gap between an upper surface of the water tank and the door body. The mounting part is connected to at least one of the side seal part and the radial seal part and is mounted to the door body.

A dishwasher and method for operating the same utilize a rack-mounted rotatable conduit incorporating a keyed connector disposed at an end thereof and configured to mate with a rotatable docking port disposed on a wall of a wash tub at a predetermined angular relationship when the rack is in the washing position such that rotation of the rotatable docking port causes rotation of the rotatable conduit.

The invention relates to a seal for a dishwasher adapted to be interposed between a peripheral edge of an opening of a tub for cookware and a door for closing said opening. The seal comprises a metal part adapted to be connected to the peripheral edge of the opening, a first part, made of polymeric material, integrally connected to the metal part and a second part, made of polymeric material, associated with the first part and adapted to be contacted by the door when the door is arranged in a position for closing the opening.

The present disclosure relates to a dishwasher. The dishwasher, which is installed in a built-in manner in a system kitchen including a cabinet having a receiving space and a counter disposed on the cabinet to include an opening, includes a tub including a front opening, a front door configured to open and close the front opening, a cover frame disposed in the opening of the counter, an upper door rotatably coupled to the cover frame to open and close the opening of the counter, a trigger configured to lock or unlock the upper door, and a lift apparatus disposed to be spaced apart from the trigger and configured to open the upper door by a predetermined angle when the trigger releases the locking of the upper door.

The present disclosure relates to a dishwasher having a structure improved in convenience of use. The dishwasher includes a tub having a front opening and a top opening, a front door configured to open and close the front opening, a cover frame disposed on the top opening and including an opening opened in the up-down direction, a top door configured to open and close the opening of the cover frame, and a frame injector disposed on the cover frame to inject washing water from one side of the cover frame.

A dishwasher for treating dishes according to an automatic cycle of operation can comprise a tub defining a treating chamber with an access opening. A door can be selectively moveable to a closed position to close the access opening and can have a metal inner panel with a rear face confronting the treating chamber when the door is in the closed position. The door can have a lower edge overlying a portion of the tub when the door is in the closed position. A ventilating strip can be provided along the lower edge and can have vent openings passing through the strip. A seal can extend between the tub and the ventilating strip when the door is closed to form a liquid seal between the ventilating strip and the tub.

A lock and a home appliance having the same are disclosed. The lock includes a holder provided at one selected from between the cabinet and the door, a housing provided at the other selected from between the cabinet and the door, a first stopper provided at the housing, a fastening unit separably coupled to the first stopper so as to be coupled to the holder when separated from the first stopper, an actuation unit configured to reciprocate in the housing, the actuation unit being configured to be moved away from the introduction port in the state of contacting the holder when the door is moved so as to close the introduction port, the actuation unit being configured to separate the fastening unit from the first stopper while being moved away from the introduction port, a first elastic member for providing force necessary to move the fastening unit away from the introduction port when the fastening unit is separated from the first stopper, a second elastic member for providing force necessary to move the actuation unit toward the introduction port, and an actuation unit lock for fixing the actuation unit to the housing when not in contact with the door and releasing coupling between the actuation unit and the housing when in contact with the door.
