A system includes a dishwasher including a washing chamber, a sensor unit designed to detect a time curve of at least one sensor signal of a washing liquor and to output the detected time curve of the at least one sensor signal, a memory unit designed to store the time curve of the at least one sensor signal, an ascertaining unit designed to ascertain a temporal functional value based on the time curve of the at least one sensor signal, and a control device designed to carry out a washing program for washing washware in the washing chamber of the dishwasher and to carry out a specified action as a function of the temporal functional value.

A dishwasher includes a controller controlling a cleaning cycle, a screen system for filtering a wash fluid, a circulation chamber and a collection chamber in fluid communication with the circulation chamber via a screen arrangement, a circulation pump for circulating the wash fluid and a drain pump for pumping out the wash fluid. During the cleaning cycle, to detect blockage in the screen arrangement, a degree of transmission in the circulation chamber filled with wash fluid is determined with an optical turbidity sensor in a first measuring step. The wash fluid is then pumped out of the collection chamber and the degree of transmission in the circulation chamber is again determined in a second measuring step. The change in the degree of transmission from the first measuring step to the second measuring step is then evaluated.

A method for improving cleaning performance of a dishwashing appliance includes implementing, via a computer application, a filter cleaning process for a filter assembly of the dishwashing appliance. The filter assembly is positioned at least partially in a sump in a bottom wall of the dishwashing appliance. The filter cleaning process includes prompting a user to remove the filter assembly from the dishwashing appliance. Further, the filter cleaning process includes initiating the dishwashing appliance to fill and drain the dishwashing appliance for a predetermined time period to flush the dishwashing appliance of residual particles remaining in the sump. Moreover, once the filling and draining is complete, the filter cleaning process includes prompting the user to reinstall the filter assembly in the dishwashing appliance.

A method includes starting cleaning program stored in memory of control device of dishwasher by start signal triggered on input device of the dishwasher, detecting current actual value of state variable in the dishwasher by sensor, comparing the detected actual value with reference value of relevant state variable stored in the control device, determining parameter and/or parameter value associated with the parameter based on the comparison, outputting output signal associated with the parameter and/or the parameter value on output device, detecting adjustment signal associated with the output signal, generated in response to input on the input device or on input device associated with the dishwasher, and associated with the parameter and/or the parameter value, and continuing to run the cleaning program with original program configuration, modified program configuration, or suspend strategy for ending the cleaning program, according to the adjustment signal.

An automated cleaning machine may include one or more short cleaning cycles in which the duration of a cleaning cycle is shortened relative to the duration of a default cleaning cycle. During a short cleaning cycle, other cleaning cycle parameters may also be adjusted to ensure that the articles subjected to the short cleaning cycle are adequately cleaned and sanitized. For example, the wash temperature, rinse temperature, and/or cleaning product amounts or concentrations, may be adjusted to account for the shortened duration of the cleaning cycle. The automated cleaning machine may further include one or more short cycle mode(s) during which short cleaning cycle parameters are used and one or more default cycle mode(s) during which default cleaning cycle parameters are used.

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 cup washer control method is disclosed. The cup washer control method operates in a management mode for checking whether a cup washer is operating normally and a use mode for washing cups, wherein the use mode may include a preparation mode in which the temperature of water stored in a water tank of the cup washer is lower than a set temperature, a standby mode in which the temperature of the water stored in the water tank is higher than or equal to the set temperature, and a wash mode for washing cups accommodated in the cup washer.
