A dishwasher system for cleaning dishes may include a dishwasher cabinet defining an opening and a tub configured to house dishes therein and run a dishwasher cycle, a door assembly configured to selectively open and close the opening, and an air distribution duct arranged around the opening of a dishwasher, the duct defining nozzles at each of the top and sides of the opening for distributing air out of the duct towards the opening to force hot and moist air from within the cabinet outward and away from the cabinet.

The present invention relates to a dishwasher. The dishwasher of the present invention comprises: a tub open at one side thereof and forming a space in which dishes are washed; a base disposed under the tub and spacing the tub a predetermined distance apart from the bottom surface; a door opening/closing the open side of the tub; a lower cover extending forward from the front end of the base and covering the lower side of the tub; and a light source part disposed above the lower cover to emit light, wherein the light source part comprises a lamp which emits light and a housing by which the lamp is fixedly placed while being spaced a predetermined distance upward apart from the lower cover, and the lower cover has a light source hole formed therethrough, the light source hole being open in the vertical direction below the lamp.

A dishwasher door assembly can include a door with an exterior surface bounding an interior space, a controller, a light source electronically coupled to the controller and positioned within the interior space, and an optical waveguide coupled to the door and configured to direct emitted light from the light source out of the interior space.

A dish-receiving unit for a household dishwasher includes a lattice-like base, an intensive washing zone, and a manually operable on/off valve configured to switch the intensive washing zone optionally from a deactivated state to an activated state and vice versa, said on/off valve being operable through the base.

A water-conducting household appliance has a closable treatment chamber, in order to treat articles therein, at least one chamber water inlet into the treatment chamber, at least one sump under said treatment chamber, a coarse particle filter for separating coarse particles having a size ≥5 mm from water exiting from the sump, wherein the coarse particle filter has a coarse particle filter inlet, a coarse particle filter water outlet and a coarse particle filtrate outlet. According to the invention, exactly one pump having a pump inlet and a pump outlet is provided for the entire household appliance, said pump being connected downstream of the sump and the coarse particle filter water outlet. Water lines, valve devices and a discharge outlet from the household appliance are also provided, wherein a water line leads from the coarse particle filter water outlet to the pump or to the pump inlet.

A dish washer includes: a washing tank including a sump at a bottom surface thereof; a water storage unit disposed inside or outside the washing tank to store washing water to be supplied to the washing tank; a heat pump system including a compressor that compresses and circulates refrigerant, a first heat exchanger disposed in the sump, an expansion apparatus, and a second heat exchanger disposed in the water storage unit to heat washing water for washing the dishes; and a reverse valve that changes a flow of refrigerant flowing through each of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger to allow each of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger to be switched from each other between a heating mode for heating the washing water and a heat recovery mode for recovering heat from washing water discharged to the outside from the washing tank.

The present invention relates to a pressure wall for a centrifugal pump for fluid having substantially the shape of a disc, the disc-shaped pressure wall having a central axis, the pressure wall comprising: a top surface; and a bottom surface opposing the top surface; wherein the top surface includes an inner surface section and an outer surface section, wherein the inner surface section extends radially from the central axis and is recessed to form a central recess; and wherein the outer surface section includes an inner circumferential edge portion and an outer circumferential edge portion, wherein the inner circumferential edge portion is located closer to the central axis than the outer circumferential edge portion, and wherein the outer circumferential edge portion is located higher than the inner circumferential edge portion with respect to a plane perpendicular to the central axis and passing through the inner circumferential edge portion.

A dishwasher includes a tub that defines a wash space configured to accommodate one or more objects to be washed, a base that is disposed below the, a door configured to open and close the wash space, a sump disposed under the tub and configured to store wash water, and an air supply device disposed at the base and configured to supply air to the tub, wherein the door is disposed forward relative to the sump in a front-rear direction of the base, and wherein the air supply device is disposed rearward relative to the sump in the front-rear direction.

A dish washer includes a cabinet, a tub positioned inside the cabinet, a sump provided in a lower portion of the tub, a case brake provided on a side wall of the tub connected to the sump, and a filter device positioned below the tub inside the cabinet, to selectively filter or unfilter water received from a water supply source, and to supply the filtered water or the unfiltered water to the case brake, the water passed through the case brake is collected in the sump, the case brake is located higher than the sump to prevent a backflow of the water collected in the sump to the case brake.

A door for an appliance includes a front panel defining an opening. A top panel is positioned at a top portion of the front panel above the opening of the front panel. A top panel bracket is disposed within the front panel. The top panel bracket is mounted within the front panel such that the top panel bracket is fixed relative to the front panel. The top panel is positioned on and mounted to the top panel bracket. The top panel bracket defines a slot. A pocket handle is disposed at the opening of the front panel. The pocket handle includes a projection. The projection is disposed within the slot of the top panel bracket.
