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.

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.

Disclosed herein is a dishwasher including a main body provided with an open hole and a washing tub; a door configured to open or close the open hole; a door opening/closing member configured to open or close the open hole; an air curtain disposed in the main body, to operate a fan such that ambient air is sucked and the sucked air is discharged; a detector configured to detect information of the fan; and a controller configured to diagnose the failure of the fan based on the detected information of the fan, to control an operation of the door opening/closing member such that the door is opened at a predetermined open time and an open time of the door is delayed when the fan is a failure state, and to control an operation of the fan when the fan is a normal state during a drying operation.

A household dishwasher includes a dishwasher cavity for processing items to be washed, and an air outlet designed to blow out dishwasher interior air of the dishwasher cavity. The air outlet is arranged in a lower quarter of a height of the household dishwasher and extends as a slot outlet over at least half of a width of the household dishwasher.

A dishwasher comprises a tub that defines a wash space configured to accommodate one or more objects to be washed, a sump that is configured to store wash water, a water supply pump that supplies the wash water to the tub, a base that is disposed below the tub, and provides a space to accommodate the sump and the water supply pump, an air supply device that is configured to supply air to the tub, a first filter that is disposed at the base and in fluid communication with the tub and the air supply device, a second filter that is disposed at the base and in fluid communication with the tub, and a water supply that is connected to the second filter and configured to supply the wash water.

A dishwasher includes a filter member that is inserted through the lower surface of a tub at a time of replacing the filter member and is applicable regardless of the type of a dishwasher, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and enhancing user convenience. The cylinder-shaped filter member is accommodated entirely in a filter housing, and external air flows into the filter member through the upper end and the lower end of the filter member respectively and then passes through the outer circumferential surface of the filter member, to be filtered, thereby preventing the filter member from being blocked partially and ensuring a sufficient flow rate of air.

A dishwasher includes a filter member having a handle integrally provided at an upper cover of the filter member. The filter member is accommodated in a filter accommodation space of a filter housing, where a movement space of the filter member is larger than the filter member, thereby preventing damage to the filter material or a fall of contaminants into the filter housing effectively, during withdrawal and insertion of the filter member. A separation space defined between the filter housing and the upper cover of the filter member is closed by a gasket, in the state where the filter member is disposed in the filter housing completely, thereby preventing the flow of non-filtered air into the filter housing effectively.

A method controls a dishwasher including a tub configured to receive objects to be washed, a drying device configured to receive wet air from the tub and to discharge the wet air to an outside of the dishwasher, and a dry air supplier including a heating part and being configured to supply heated air to the tub. The method includes preheating the drying device by introducing dry air from the outside to the drying device before a first preset time from a start point of a drying operation, performing the drying operation at the start point, wherein the wet air is discharged from the tub during the drying operation, and cooling the dry air supplier by stopping operation of the heating part before a second preset time from an end time point of the drying operation.

A dishwasher includes a tub, a door coupled to a front of the tub, and a drying device disposed at the door and configured to dry an inside of the tub. The drying device includes a bracket that defines a space configured to receive the wet air and the dry air, an impeller coupled to the bracket and configured to cause the wet air and the dry air to be mixed, where the impeller is configured to generate a flow of the mixed air. The drying device further includes a cover coupled to the bracket, and an air guide disposed between the bracket and the cover and configured to guide the flow of the mixed air into the impeller. The impeller is rotatably coupled to the air guide.

A dishwasher includes a tub that defines a washing space configured to accommodate objects to be washed, a door coupled to a front of the tub, and a drying device disposed at the door and configured to guide (i) wet air discharged from the inside of the tub and (ii) ambient air introduced from an outside of the tub. The drying device includes a bracket that defines a space configured to receive the wet air and the ambient air, where the bracket defines a first inlet that is in fluid communication with the outside and configured to receive the ambient air from the outside. The drying device further includes a cover coupled to the bracket and an impeller coupled to the bracket and configured to cause the wet air and the ambient air to be mixed, where the impeller is configured to generate a flow of the mixed air.
