A utensil rack for a dishwasher has a set of wave profiles. One subset of wave profiles has wave crests spaced from each other a first distance and a second set of wave profiles has wave crests spaced from each other a second distance less than the first distances. The utensil rack can be in the form of tray. A stemware section has one subset of wave profiles and a cutlery section has a second subset of wave profiles.

A dishwasher includes a compartment in the form of a drawer or pull-out treating chamber slidably mounted in a chassis is provided with one or more liquid supply and draining conduits for supplying and draining liquid to and from the treating chamber.

A washing device comprises top, middle, and bottom compartments. The top compartment comprises a manifold dispenser that comprises at least one liquid input and a plurality of liquid outputs that operably direct fluid to contact a plurality of laboratory consumables held by a rack. A number of liquid outputs is equal to a number of laboratory consumables such that each one of the fluid outputs operably directs fluid at a corresponding one of the laboratory consumables. The middle compartment is positioned below the top compartment and comprises a washing chamber capable of receiving fluid output by the plurality of liquid outputs. The washing chamber has a floor comprising a material transparent to ultraviolet light. The bottom compartment is positioned below the washing chamber and has a light source that is capable of outputting UV light in the direction of the washing chamber and through the floor of the washing chamber.

A dish washer and a control method are disclosed. The dish washer includes a sump and at least one nozzle configured to inject water. The dish washer also includes a distributor configured to receive water of the sump and distribute the water to the at least one nozzle. The dish washer also includes a reservoir configured to receive and store the water of the sump. The dish washer also includes a circulation path configured to connect the sump and the distributor. The dish washer also includes an inflow path configured to branch off from the circulation path to supply the water of the sump to the reservoir. The dish washer also includes a first valve configured to open or close the inflow path and a second valve configured to open or close the outflow path, and the outflow path is configured to flow the water out of the reservoir.

A household appliance, such as a dishwasher, for treating an item, such as a dish, in a treating chamber 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.

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 water-conducting domestic appliance, in particular a dishwasher, includes a wash container for holding items being washed, a first container and a second container for holding water. A a thermal insulation is arranged between the first container and the wash container. The second container is arranged in thermal contact with the wash container. A decanting device is provided for transferring the water from the first container into the second container to dry the items being washed.

A method of operating a dishwasher having a wash tub and a reuse tank for storing liquid for subsequent reuse, wherein the condition of the water in the reuse tank may be monitored and/or acted upon to limit the likelihood of undesired effects associated with the growth of micro-organisms in the liquid.

A dish rack is supported for vertical movement relative to a dishwasher tub between lowered and raised positions. To raise the rack, spring biased locking levers provided on side walls of the dish rack are pivoted to cause wing members of the locking levers to release locking tabs, extending in a cantilevered fashion from locking straps secured to the rack, from locking openings provided in adjuster arms which are fixed vertically relative to the tub, thereby disengaging the locking straps from the adjuster arms to enable the rack to be lifted to the raised position. To lower the rack, the locking levers are again pivoted to reposition support members of the locking straps into positions offset from the adjuster arms, thereby enabling the rack to be guided to the lowered position where the locking tabs automatically engage the adjuster arms.
