A warewash machine carries out at least one of (i) delivering both compressed air and rinse liquid to a plurality of wash spray nozzles of the warewash machine for spraying onto the wares during at least part of a washing operation of a ware cleaning cycle, wherein the wash liquid is recirculated from a wash tank below the spray zone; or (ii) lowering wares from the spray zone into a wash tank below the spray zone to submerge the wares within wash liquid of the wash tank and delivering compressed air into the wash tank during at least part of a washing operation of a ware cleaning cycle; or (iii) delivering both compressed air and rinse liquid to a plurality of rinse spray nozzles of the warewash machine for spraying onto the wares during at least part of a rinsing operation of a ware cleaning cycle.

A rinse arm system for a warewasher includes a rinse arm (1) rotatable about a rotation axis (D), a locking mechanism (2) connected to the rinse arm (1) such that the locking mechanism (2) is rotatable with respect to the rinse arm (1), and a bushing (3). The locking mechanism (2) is latched in an interlocking manner to the bushing (3) or clamped in a force-fitting manner to the bushing (3) such that the locking mechanism (2) is fixedly connected to the bushing (3) and the rinse arm (1) is rotatable about the rotation axis (D) with respect to the bushing (3).

A water-conducting household appliance includes a moving component, an electric motor for moving the component, a load apparatus configured to apply a resistance to counter movement of the component as a function of a position of the moving component, and a control apparatus for actuating the electric motor. The control apparatus is configured to detect a drive current drawn which is drawn by the electric motor and is a function of the resistance applied by the load apparatus and to ascertain the position of the moving component as a function of the detected drive current.

A dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, includes a dishwasher cavity for receiving an item to be washed. A door or flap is configured to close the dishwasher cavity and movable between an open and a closed position. Associated to the door or flap is a two-stage or multi-stage safety catch for transition between an open and a closed state of the door or flap. A device is provided to capture whether the door or flap is closed or open and to detect a traversal of the two-stage or multi-stage safety catch.

A dishwasher includes: a tub; a sump configured to collect wash water sprayed into the tub; a spraying arm including: first and second channels configured to independently guide the wash water; and a plurality of spraying holes configured to spray the wash water supplied to each of the channels in preset directions; a supply pump configured to supply the wash water collected in the sump to the spraying arm, the supply pump including: an impeller; and a motor configured to drive the impeller; a flow path conversion unit configured to selectively supply the wash water to the first channel or the second channel; and a controller configured to cause the flow path conversion unit to selectively supply the wash water to the first channel or the second channel by controlling the operation of the motor based on a value of an electrical current flowing through the motor.

A dishwasher, in particular a household dishwasher, includes a dishwasher cavity, a spray apparatus for dispensing washing liquor, and a drive facility including an electric motor designed to actively drive the spray apparatus so as to apply washing liquor to an item to be washed arranged in the dishwasher cavity. The drive facility includes a detection unit for detecting a motor rotational speed of the electric motor. A control apparatus determines a blockage of the spray apparatus in dependence upon the detected motor rotational speed.

Disclosed herein is a dish washing machine. The dish washing machine includes a washing tub in which dishes are stored, a nozzle provided at one side of the washing tub to spray washing water, a vane configured to move in the washing tub and deflect the washing water sprayed from the nozzle toward the dishes, a vane holder movably combined with a rail configured to guide a movement of the vane and configured to support the vane, a driving source configured to generate power for driving the vane to reciprocate, a belt driven to transfer the power generated by the driving source to the vane, and a direction changing member with one end configured to rotate with respect to the vane holder and another end configured to rotatably move with the belt when a movement direction of the vane is changed.

A method and dishwasher utilize one or more sprayers that are coupled to both a liquid supply and an air supply through a common hydraulic circuit such that both liquid and pressurized air can be supplied to the one or more sprayers.

A dishwasher according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes a main body, a tub disposed inside the main body, having a washing chamber formed therein, and having an opening at a front side thereof, a basket configured to be rotatable in a first or second direction inside the tub, a driver configured to supply power to rotate the basket, and a door configured to be rotatable in the first direction based on a rotation of the basket in the first direction so as to open or close the opening of the tub.
