Disclosed is a heating circulation type drying module of a dishwasher using a fan module and PTC heaters. The dishwasher includes a cabinet defining the external appearance, a tub provided in the cabinet, a door for opening or closing the tub, a flow-path unit for circulating air inside the tub through a suction port and an exhaust port, which communicate with the tub, a suction duct for communicating with the suction port, an exhaust duct for communicating with the suction duct and the exhaust port, at least two heaters provided inside the exhaust duct for heating the air, and a fan for supplying the air to the heaters. The dishwasher may achieve improved drying performance via adjustment in the temperature of air to be discharged, and may reduce power consumption via omission of a rinsing water heating course.

A dish washer according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cabinet which forms a dish washing space; a door which opens and closes an opened front surface of the cabinet; wherein door includes an out plate which is made of metal plate material and forms the front surface of the door and at least a portion of appearance of a peripheral surface of the door by being bent the front surface, an operating unit which is formed on the peripheral surface of the door so that a user operates by touch, a PCB assembly which is in close contact with a rear surface of the operating unit and on which a plurality of touch sensors detecting displacement of the operating unit are mounted, a mounting bracket which is mounted to be fixed to an inside surface of the out plate, and an elastic member which is mounted on the mounting bracket and presses and supports the PCB assembly to the a rear surface of the operating unit.

A dishwasher includes a door with at least a first part and a second part. The first part may be pivotally mounted to the dishwasher. The second part may be configured to be coupled to the first part for cooperative pivoting of the first part and the second part in one mode of operation. The second part may also be configured to move independently of the first part in another mode of operation.

A water-conducting domestic appliance includes a washing container, a door which is pivotably mounted to the washing container to define with the washing container a washing chamber for washing items, and a door opening module configured to automatically open the door. A detector detects a presence of a living being in a defined area in front of the domestic appliance. In the event the presence of a living being has been detected by the detector in the defined area, a control device prevents the door opening module from automatically opening the door.

The present invention relates to a dishwasher (1) wherein the stiffness level of the stress means (7) is provided to be kept at different values by means of the adjustment means (8) during the washing cycle, the locking mechanism (4) is provided to remain locked completely by adjusting the stiffness level of the stress means (7) by means of the adjustment means (8) depending on the requirement at the respective stage of the washing cycle, the stiffness level is adjusted to the lowest value before or after the washing process for easily opening the door (3) and the locking mechanism (4) is provided not to open easily in order to prevent escape of steam from inside the body (2) during the washing process by adjusting the stiffness level of the stress means (7) by means of the adjustment means (8).

An apparatus for the evacuation of warm, moist air or vapor from a dishwasher cabinet or other washing machine interior. A centrifugal fan draws the hot air and water vapor out of the washing cavity through a flue riser and discharges it into a cooling chamber with one or more cooling spray nozzles. The cooling spray nozzles spray a fine mist of cold water into the stream of heated air and vapor, and may spray at angle to the flow of the stream of heated air and vapor. As the heated air and vapor from the dishwasher and the cooling spray mix, heat is transferred from the heated air and vapor to the cold water or mist being sprayed into the air stream. This reduces the temperature of the vapors and air that was extracted from the dishwasher. As the temperature is reduced, the water vapors condense and form droplets which accumulate on the sides and bottom of the cooling flue. This reduced temperature and moisture air is then discharged to the room at an opening, which may be located slightly above the bottom of the flue cabinet, along with the condensate.

The present invention relates to a dishwasher configured to perform a separate storage mode and a single drying course including only a single drying step by using a sorption drying device to meet a user's need to perform only an step of quickly drying dishes and the user's need to store dishes in a clean state for a long period of time, thereby significantly improving user convenience.

A dish washer includes: a tub configured to receive an object to be washed and providing a washing space having an opening at a front side of the tub, a door configured to rotate relative to the tub between (i) a closing position that closes the opening of the washing space and (ii) a full opening position that exposes an entirety of the opening of the washing space, and a door position sensing part configured to sense a position of the door. The door position sensing part is configured to sense whether the door moves from the closing position and whether the door reaches a predetermined risk area start position set between the closing position and the full opening position.

A latch strike mechanism for a dishwasher door to improve drying performance including a housing and a moveable striker projecting from the housing and engageable with a door latch. The moveable striker is slideably engaged with the stationary striker frame and configured to extend to maintain the dishwasher door in a partially open position following a wash cycle to allow controlled air exchange between the interior of the dishwasher and ambient conditions to improve drying performance and/or save energy.

The present invention relates to a dishwashing device for an aircraft, comprising an inner chamber, which receives crockery to be cleaned and cleaning medium, and a door, which closes an opening in the inner chamber in a closed position, and a connecting apparatus for connecting the dishwashing device to a water disposal system of the aircraft, the door being secured in the closed position by means of at least one locking apparatus, wherein the locking apparatus is designed to release the door from the closed position by a releasing movement when a predetermined pressure gradient between the inner chamber and surroundings of the dishwashing device is exceeded.
