A dishwasher includes a tub. The dishwasher further includes a door rotatably coupled with the tub. The door is rotatable between a closed position and an open position. The dishwasher includes a leg coupled with the tub, and a biasing member coupled with the leg. The biasing member is coupled with the door. The biasing member biases the door toward the closed position. The dishwasher further includes a limit switch operably coupled to the biasing member. The dishwasher further includes an actuator assembly coupled with the tub. The actuator assembly includes a housing coupled with the tub, a driving member disposed within the housing, and an actuating member operably coupled with the driving member. The driving member drives the actuating member between a retracted position and an extended position. The actuating member moves the door in the closed position to an unsealed position.

A dishwasher appliance includes: a tub defined by a top wall, a sidewall coupled with the top wall, and a bottom wall coupled with the sidewall. The dishwasher appliance further includes a door rotatably coupled with at least one of the sidewall and the bottom wall. The door includes a contact flange. The dishwasher appliance further includes an actuating member coupled with the sidewall. The actuating member is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. The actuating member in the extended position engages the contact flange.

Disclosed is a household appliance comprising: a door; a door lock unit equipped with a hook part which is configured to unlock and open the door by moving outward; a motor configured to generate torque by using electricity; a driving gear unit which has a rotary shaft at one end portion and is configured to rotate by receiving the torque from the motor, wherein the one end portion pushes the hook unit to the outside of the door lock unit to open the door when the driving gear unit rotates in one direction; a sensing unit configured to sense the displacement of the other end portion of the driving gear unit when the hook unit moves to the inside of the door lock unit, wherein the other end portion rotates in the opposite direction about the rotary shaft of the driving gear unit; and a control unit configured to control the operation of the motor on the basis of the displacement, sensed by the sensing unit, of the other end of the driving gear unit.

A dishwasher may include: a user interface device; communication circuitry; and a controller configured to: receive, through the communication circuitry, external humidity information detected by an appliance in an environment of the appliance, based on the received external humidity information and a washing course of the dishwasher that is input via the user interface device, change setting information related to an operation of at least one of a rinsing process of the washing course or a drying process of the washing course, and based on the changed setting information, control the operation of the at least one of the rinsing process of the washing course or the drying process of the washing course.

A dishwasher includes a body including an opening through which an object to be washed is loaded, a door to be connected with one side of the body and while the door is connected to the one side of the body, the door selectively opens and closes the body, a driving device that drives the door to be selectively opened on the body, a memory to store at least one instruction, and at least one processor configured to execute the at least one instruction, and control the driving device such that the door is opened in relation to a drying cycle, wherein the at least one processor is configured to obtain an operation state of a heating device around the dishwasher, and based on opening of the door being necessary, adjust a time point of opening the door in relation to the drying cycle based on the obtained operation state.

A household dishwasher includes a dishwasher cavity, a door designed to close off or open the dishwasher cavity, a receptacle for an item to be washed, and a drive designed to move the receptacle in a deployment direction to at least partially open the door and/or a retraction direction to at least partially close the door.

A wax motor is positioned inside the dishwasher. The wax motor moves a strike away from the upper wall of the dishwasher to open the dishwasher door. The wax motor can be activated at the end of a drying cycle to automatically open the door to permit ambient air to assist in drying the dishes and to release humidity that remains in the dishwasher.

A dishwasher includes a tub. The dishwasher further includes a door rotatably coupled with the tub. The door is rotatable between a closed position and an open position. The dishwasher includes a leg coupled with the tub, and a biasing member coupled with the leg. The biasing member is coupled with the door. The biasing member biases the door toward the closed position. The dishwasher further includes a limit switch operably coupled to the biasing member. The dishwasher further includes an actuator assembly coupled with the tub. The actuator assembly includes a housing coupled with the tub, a driving member disposed within the housing, and an actuating member operably coupled with the driving member. The driving member drives the actuating member between a retracted position and an extended position. The actuating member moves the door in the closed position to an unsealed position.
