A dishwasher includes a shiftable rack provided with multiple, distinct washing fluid spray arms connected to a common, rack supported manifold. When the rack is shifted to a retracted position within a tub of the dishwasher, the manifold mates with a coupling of a fluid distribution system including a multi-tube feed arrangement configured to selectively distribute washing fluid from a pump assembly to the multiple spray arms.

A household appliance, such as a dishwasher, for treating an item according to at least one automatic cycle of operation includes multiple antennas for transmitting and receiving data with an external network. The multiple antennas can be coupled with a radio also located within the appliance.

An automatic dishwasher having a tub defining a treating chamber and a housing physically separate from the tub and defining a sump to receive liquid sprayed into the tub, the housing having an inlet fluidly connected to a liquid outlet of the tub and an outlet fluidly coupled to a sprayer located within the tub to define a recirculation path for the sprayed liquid.

A dishwashing composition which is a mixture of vinegar powder and lemon powder, or a mixture of vinegar powder, lemon powder and salt, for use in a dishwashing machine or for other cleaning purposes. The vinegar powder, lemon powder and, when present, salt can be mixed in any of a variety of proportions. The lemon powder, vinegar powder, and optional salt are non-toxic to humans and pets.

A dishwasher appliance includes a tub; a door, a sensor, and an indicator. The dishwasher performs an operation including determining a completion of a washing cycle, turning on the indicator, accumulating a first value relating to a first characteristic and a second value relating to a second characteristic, comparing the first accumulated value against a first threshold value and the second accumulated value against a second threshold value, determining that at least one of the first or second accumulated value is greater than its respective threshold value, and implementing a responsive action after determining that the at least one of the first or second accumulated value is greater than its respective threshold value.

A dishwasher appliance includes a tub; a door; a sensor; and an audio module. The dishwasher performs an operation including determining a completion of a washing cycle; accumulating a first value relating to a first characteristic and a second value relating to a second characteristic; comparing the first accumulated value against a first threshold value and the second accumulated value against a second threshold value; determining that each of the first and second accumulated values is less than its respective threshold value; detecting a movement of the door from the latched position to the unlatched position; and implementing a responsive action in response to detecting the movement of the door from the latched position to the unlatched position.

A dishwasher table includes a housing with an interior volume for a washing assembly, and a panel located within a frame mounted to the housing. At least one side of the panel defines a utensil surface, with the panel interior volume defining a manifold in communication with a plurality of apertures formed in the utensil surface. A pivot assembly at least partially engages the panel with the housing and pivots the panel to present the utensil surface to the interior of the housing or to face the utensil surface away from the interior of the housing. A vacuum pump is connected to the manifold defined by the interior volume of the panel, and operation of the vacuum pump engages dinning utensils placed over one or more of the apertures formed in the utensil surface with the utensil surface.

A dishwasher appliance connected to a water supply circuit includes a tub defining a wash chamber; a pump in fluid communication with the wash chamber; a user interface comprising at least one input; and a controller operably coupled with the user interface and the pump, the controller being configured to perform a winterization operation. The winterization operation includes determining that a municipal water source has been disconnected from the water supply circuit; supplying a volume of water to the wash chamber after determining that the municipal water source has been disconnected; determining that the volume of water within the wash chamber is greater than a predetermined minimum volume of water; circulating, via the pump, the volume of water within the wash chamber for a predetermined length of time; and draining the volume of water from the wash chamber after circulating the volume of water for the predetermined length of time.
