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 door mechanism, for example for a domestic dishwasher, is disclosed, wherein the door mechanism includes a door latch for holding a door of the dishwasher closed in a closed position, and an electrically controllable door opener for the mechanized partial opening and subsequent closing of the door. The door opener includes coupling members, which can be brought into push- and pull-transmitting but releasable coupling engagement with one another, on the door and on an appliance main body of the dishwasher on which the door is movably mounted. The coupling members, when in coupling engagement, allow forces to be transmitted between the door and the appliance main body in a force transmission path which runs past the door latch. The pull strength of the coupling engagement of the coupling members can be variable in dependence on the position of the door.

A dishwasher system for cleaning dishes may include a dishwasher tub configured to house dishes therein and run a dishwasher cycle, a door assembly configured to selectively seal the dishwasher tub, the door assembly including an inlet nozzle arranged on the inside of the door assembly, the inlet nozzle extending across the width of the door at the top of the door assembly to receive hot and moist air post wash from the dishwasher tub, and a duct fluidly connected to the inlet nozzle and configured to transfer the air through the door assembly and out an outlet nozzle during a drying phase of the dishwasher cycle prior to the door assembly being opened post-cycle.

Disclosed herein is a dishwasher. The dishwasher includes, a tub provided in the cabinet to form a washing chamber, and a drying apparatus arranged on a side wall of the tub and including a flow path provided to allow air sucked from the washing chamber to flow, a heater arranged in the flow path to heat air in the flow path, and a switch arranged upstream of the heater to turn off the heater in response to air, which is adjacent to the heater, reaching a predetermined temperature.

An information processing method includes: selecting M blocks as M selected blocks from among N blocks for driving at least one of an actuator or a heater included in an apparatus, in accordance with an input operation performed by an operator; generating an application by setting, in accordance with an input operation performed by the operator, a parameter for driving the actuator or the heater in each of the M selected blocks; consulting a rule defining a parameter range within which the above-described driving is not permitted, and modifying the application by changing at least one of the M selected blocks, the at least one of the M selected blocks including a parameter included in the parameter range; and outputting the modified application.

A warewash machine carries out at least one of (i) delivering both compressed air and rinse liquid to a plurality of wash spray nozzles of the warewash machine for spraying onto the wares during at least part of a washing operation of a ware cleaning cycle, wherein the wash liquid is recirculated from a wash tank below the spray zone; or (ii) lowering wares from the spray zone into a wash tank below the spray zone to submerge the wares within wash liquid of the wash tank and delivering compressed air into the wash tank during at least part of a washing operation of a ware cleaning cycle; or (iii) delivering both compressed air and rinse liquid to a plurality of rinse spray nozzles of the warewash machine for spraying onto the wares during at least part of a rinsing operation of a ware cleaning cycle.

A positive and negative pressure system and an operation method therefor, and a positive and negative pressure electrical appliance using the positive and negative pressure system. The positive and negative pressure electrical appliance comprises: a positive and negative pressure refrigerator, a positive and negative pressure washing machine, a vacuum dishwasher/fruit and vegetable cleaning machine, a super-oxygenated water washing range hood, a positive and negative pressure oven/fryer/microwave oven, a positive and negative pressure fresh-keeping compartment, a positive and negative pressure fresh-keeping warehouse, and a positive and negative pressure modular cabinet. Regulating airflow with positive and negative pressure, or carrying multiple effective loads such as ozone, an air catalyst, a negative ion, modified atmosphere gas and water for orderly getting in and out of or staying in a positive and negative pressure chamber, and exerting the required effects on objects therein.

A dishwasher has a liquid supply system with a first conduit portion through which the liquid passes, and an air supply system with a second conduit portion through which the air passes. The first conduit portion at least partially forms the second conduit portion to define a thermal transfer interface. A heating system includes a heating element provided on the thermal transfer interface. Activation of the heating element provides heat to both the liquid supply system and the air supply system.

A domestic dishwasher includes a wash container which has a loading opening. The loading opening of the wash container can be closed by a door. A suction apparatus is provided to suction steam and/or air, in particular moisture-laden air, escaping from the loading opening. The suction apparatus has at least one inlet window located outside a wet chamber of the wash container.

A warewash machine includes a chamber with a wash zone and front, left and right access openings. At least one spray arm is disposed to spray liquid toward the wash zone. A multi-sided hood assembly is movable between a lowered and closed position for washing and a raised open position for inlet and outlet of wares. An air exchange system is provided for extracting hot water vapor from the chamber and for providing heated air into the chamber.
