Abstract: A variable position diverter that provides wash fluid to selected combinations of outlet ports and spray assemblies. The diverter includes a housing having four fluid outlet ports, and a valve disk having a three apertures. The valve disk is rotated relative to the housing to align one or more of the three apertures with one or more of the four fluid outlet ports to selectively control the flow of wash fluid through corresponding spray assemblies. Selectively diverting wash fluid in this manner can improve wash performance and reduce cycle time while meeting government regulations regarding water usage.

Abstract: Spray tines for bottle washer assemblies of dishwasher appliances are provided. A spray tine includes a conduit extending between a first end and a second end and defining a passage for flowing wash fluid therethrough. At least a portion of the conduit extending between the first end and the second end has a curvilinear cross-sectional profile when viewed in a length-wise cross-section. The spray tine further includes a head integral with the conduit, the head extending from the second end of the conduit and defining a portion of the passage. The spray tine further includes a plurality of outlet apertures, at least one of the plurality of outlet apertures defined in one of the conduit or the head. Each of the plurality of outlet apertures is in fluid communication with the passage for flowing wash fluid from the passage therethrough.
