A system for dosing substances such as cleaning and/or care agents is disclosed. The system includes a dosing device, at least one energy source, a control unit, a sensor unit, and at least two cartridges for respectively accommodating at least one of the cleaning and/or care agents. The at least two cartridges are capable of being coupled to the dosing device.

Disclosed is a dishwasher ejecting wash water containing microbubbles. The dishwasher according to an embodiment includes a tub accommodating dishes therein, a plurality of wash arms spraying wash water into the tub, a bubble nozzle ejecting wash water containing microbubbles to the bottom of the tub, a sump disposed below the bottom of the tub and collecting wash water therein, a wash pump pumping wash water collected in the sump, a channel-switching unit supplying wash water pumped by the wash pump to at least one of the plurality of wash arms, and a bubble module generating microbubbles in wash water pumped by the wash pump and supplying the wash water containing microbubbles to the bubble nozzle, and a controller operates the wash pump and controls the channel-switching unit and the bubble module to spray wash water through at least one of the plurality of wash arms and simultaneously to eject wash water through the bubble nozzle.

A dishwashing appliance includes a cabinet and a tub in the cabinet. The tub defines a wash chamber for receipt of articles for washing. A door is rotatably mounted to the cabinet for movement between a closed position wherein the wash chamber is sealingly enclosed and an open position permitting access to the wash chamber for loading and unloading of articles from the dishwashing appliance. The dishwashing appliance also includes a control console positioned on the door. The control console includes a console cover on an exterior surface of the door, a console bracket mounted within an interior of the door and proximate the console cover, and a circuit board attached to an interior surface of the console cover with a double-sided adhesive film. The double-sided adhesive film sealingly engages the console cover and the console bracket.

A detergent dispenser may be positioned to dispense detergent into a wash tub of a household appliance. The detergent dispenser may include a detergent cartridge. The detergent cartridge may include a detergent strip having a plurality of detergents. One or more ejection mechanisms may be used to expel the detergent from the detergent strip through an outlet of the detergent cartridge.

A dishwasher includes a pump device operated by a pump current for supply of washing liquor to a first spray device via a first hydraulic arrangement for providing a first washing zone and to a second spray device via a second hydraulic arrangement for providing a second washing zone. A third spray device is connected to one of the first and second hydraulic arrangements for providing an intensive washing zone. In a first switching state, the third spray device is isolated from the one hydraulic arrangement, and in a second switching state the third spray device is connected to the one hydraulic arrangement. A control device determines a current switching state of the third spray device as a function of a difference between the pump current when washing liquor is supplied to the first hydraulic arrangement and when washing liquor is supplied to the second hydraulic arrangement.

A dishwasher and method utilize a cam-based position sensor that is configured to sense multiple rotational positions for a discretely directable tubular spray element driven by a tubular spray element drive.

An artificial intelligence dishwasher including a dish rack on which dishes are arranged, a spray nozzle configured to spray washing water toward the dishes, a washing pump configured to feed washing water stored in a sump to the spray nozzle, a washing motor configured to drive the washing pump, a camera configured to capture the dish rack to obtain a dish arrangement image, and a processor configured to provide the dish arrangement image to a dish recognition model to obtain dish information included in the dish arrangement image, determine a washing cycle for the dishes based on the dish information, and control driving of the washing motor according to the determined washing cycle is provided. A dishwashing method is also provided.

The present disclosure relates to a dishwasher. The dishwasher of one embodiment comprises a tub having a wash space in which a wash target is accommodated, a sump being disposed at a lower end of the tub and storing wash water, a wash pump supplying wash water that is accommodated in the sump to a nozzle, a rack being disposed in the wash space and storing a wash target, a nozzle being disposed at a lower end of the rack, being rotated by a repulsive force of wash water that is supplied from the wash pump, spraying wash water to a wash target, and having one end to which a magnetic object is coupled, a sensing module being disposed in an area that corresponds to a range in which the nozzle operates and comprising a Hall sensor that senses a magnetic force generated by the magnetic object, and a controller receiving sensing results from the sensing module and determining one or more of whether the nozzle rotates, a rotation speed of the nozzle and a rotation direction of the nozzle, based on the sensing results, to output an abnormality notification to a user or control wash water that is supplied to the nozzle through the wash pump.

Systems and methods of for controlling and appliance are provided. A control system for operating a load of an appliance can be provided. The control system includes a processor and memory device. Memory device is configured to store instructions that when executed by processor cause the processor to perform operations. Operations include determining an operational state of a first load control device, generating a first control signal based on the operational state of the first load control device, determining the operational state of a first load control device enable circuit; generating a second control signal based on the operational state of the first load control device enable circuit; generating a first load control signal based on the first control signal and second control signal; and operating a second load control device based on the first load control signal.

A washing apparatus (e.g. a laundry washing machine, dishwasher, etc.) and method configure a wash cycle in part based on spectral data obtained from a spectrometer positioned with the washing apparatus and analyzed in a remote cloud service.
