Abstract:
An automatic dishwasher has a rotatable spray arm and at least one rotatable sprayer, a drive link coupling the rotation of the rotatable spray arm and the at least one rotatable sprayer, and a drive for directly driving at least one of the rotatable spray arm and the at least one rotatable sprayer.
Abstract:
A method of controlling the rotation of a spray arm for a dishwasher having a washing chamber, in which the spray arm is located, by rotating the spray arm with of a motor operably coupled to the spray arm.
Abstract:
An automatic dishwasher comprises a housing defining a wash chamber for holding utensils to be washed, a movable sprayer fluidly coupled with a source of liquid and having at least one directionally-controllable outlet for controllably spraying liquid into the wash chamber, and a controller operably coupled to the movable sprayer to control the direction of the directionally-controllable outlet to spray liquid in at least one preselected location within the wash chamber.
Abstract:
A dishwasher having a liquid spraying system operable in a first mode to spray a focused stream of liquid within the wash chamber, and operable in a second mode to spray a diffused stream of liquid within the wash chamber.
Abstract:
A dishwasher includes a steam-generating vessel positioned in the wash chamber of the dishwasher's tub. A heating element heats water contained in the vessel to generate steam. The heating element may be embodied as thick-film heating element. The steam-generating vessel may be formed in the dishwasher's tub or embodied as a separate component that is secured to the tub.
