The dishwasher is characterized in that the spray arm is configured to emit a fan-shaped jet from the spray detergent nozzle when the washing liquid is supplied to the spray arm and the spray arm is configured to emit the fan-shaped jet that is incident upon the detergent dispenser both when the spray arm is positioned at the first height and when the spray arm is positioned at the second height.

A dishwasher includes a wash tub, a lower basket, a first upper basket, a second upper basket, and movement parts. The wash tub defines a space in which dishes are washed. The lower basket is disposed in the wash tub. The first upper basket is disposed over the lower basket inside the wash tub to define a first lower reception space together with the lower basket. The second upper basket is disposed over the lower basket side by side with the first upper basket to define a second lower reception space. The movement parts move the first upper basket above or below the second upper basket to increase the first lower reception space.

A rack for a domestic dishwasher includes a frame and a base. The base can be swung and folded out in order to increase a loading volume of the rack. The base includes a first portion articulated to a first side of the frame via a first articulation, and a second portion articulated to a second side of the frame opposite the first site via a second articulation, and articulated to the first portion via a third articulation. The second portion is configured to change its length between the second and third articulations.

A lower rack for a domestic dishwasher is constructed for being liftable and includes a fixed lower rack element, and a removable lower rack element connectable to the fixed lower rack element and constructed for removal from the fixed lower rack element to thereby unblock access to a bottom area of a washing container of the domestic dishwasher.

A dishwasher includes a tub, a first dish rack, and a second dish rack disposed above the first dish rack in the tub. The second dish rack includes a frame configured to couple to and adjust in a vertical position relative to a plurality of mounting rails in the tub. The second dish rack also includes a collapsible portion coupled to the frame and configured to adjust in a vertical position relative to the frame. In some embodiments, the second dish rack further includes a feed pipe coupled to the collapsible portion, the feed pipe having at least one connection point configured to align with at least one water supply point, wherein each vertical position of the collapsible portion corresponds to a different alignment of the at least one connection point and the at least one water supply point.
