A dishwasher includes a tub in which dishes are stored, a base disposed below the tub, a dry air supplier configured to spray air to the tub, and a cover disposed to expose the dry air supplier through an opening formed in a bottom surface of the base and configured to close the opening by being coupled to the base.

An appliance drain pan comprises a floor and an upturned rim around an outer edge of the floor. The floor has a first side portion, a second side portion opposite and spaced apart from the first side portion, and a central portion therebetween. A first plurality of raised projections protrudes upward from the first side portion of the floor. A second plurality of raised projections protrudes upward from the second side portion of the floor. Each projection of the first and second plurality of raised projections has a top surface that is substantially parallel to the floor.

A home appliance, such as a laundry appliance, includes a component assembly with a sensor and a sensor-controlled component for operating the appliance, and a cover for housing the component assembly therein. The cover has an outer surface and an inner surface. The cover includes a functionalized superhydrophobic multi-layer coating on at least one of the outer surface and inner surface. The functionalized superhydrophobic coating prevents moisture from entering the component assembly and attacking sensors housed therein, and has a water contact angle thereon of at least 145 degrees.

A leakage prevention module arranged to prevent fluid leakage from a tube connected apparatus arranged in the leakage prevention module, including a fluid tight trough including a drain in fluid connection with a drainage connection arranged to be connected to a drain tube, a wall with a recess where a lower end of the wall is fluid-tight fixed to the fluid tight trough such that the recess faces away from the drain. A first internal drain tube with a first end terminated in the recess and arranged to be connected to a drain tube from an apparatus and a second end in fluid connection with the drainage connection, a first feedthrough in the wall, a termination module arranged in the recess, where the termination module is arranged for terminating an inlet tube led in through the first feedthrough and further includes a first outlet arranged to be connected to a first supply tube to the apparatus.

A dishwasher appliance equipped with leak detection features and a method of detecting leak conditions during an operation cycle of a dishwasher are provided. In one aspect, the dishwasher appliance includes a tub having a sump. A pressure sensor is mounted to the sump and is configured to monitor the sump pressure during an operation cycle. If the sump pressure falls below a pressure threshold during a circulation cycle, corrective action can be taken. For instance, a circulation pump circulating wash fluid through the tub can deactivated and a static pressure reading can be taken by the pressure sensor. The static pressure reading can be compared to a static pressure reading taken prior to the circulation cycle. In response to whether the static pressure is within a predetermined range of the static pressure reading taken prior to the circulation cycle, the circulation cycle can be recommenced or aborted.

A single cavity dishwashing appliance with one or more drawers is disclosed. The drawer may be moveable between a closed position and an open position. A drip shield may be provided to prevent washing fluid from dripping onto the floor or onto the inner components of the dishwashing appliance when the drawer is in the open position.

The moisture-detecting water source shutoff device may allow a user to detect the intrusion of water into an interior space where it is not desired, contain the water intrusion, automatically shut off the supply of water to the affected area, and emit an audio or visual alarm to a user of the system. The moisture-detecting water source shutoff device may specifically comprise a drip tray that may contain the water intrusion and prevent damage to the surrounding area, a plurality of sensors within the drip tray to detect the water intrusion, a plurality of shutoff valves that may be closed by the sensors detecting an intrusion, and the ability of a user to manually start, stop, and reset the valves. The device may further comprise a mechanism that allows the user to drain the drip tray without removing the appliance, and a wireless connectivity to the user's smart phone and home security system.

A single cavity dishwashing appliance with one or more drawers is disclosed. The drawer may be moveable between a closed position and an open position. A drip shield may be provided to prevent washing fluid from dripping onto the floor or onto the inner components of the dishwashing appliance when the drawer is in the open position.

Appliances configured to detect leaks and methods of detecting leaks are provided. The appliance includes a grounded chassis. The appliance also includes a first levelling leg electrically coupled to the chassis and a second levelling leg electrically isolated from the chassis. The appliance also includes a controller in in operative communication with the second levelling leg and the chassis. The controller is configured for, and related methods include, monitoring electrical continuity between the second levelling leg and the chassis and detecting water on the base surface in response to electrical continuity between the second levelling leg and the chassis.
