Abstract: A dishwasher includes a cabinet having a tub, a pump and at least one spray arm. The at least one spray arm has a flow path guide and first and second flow channels separated from each other. The flow path guide has a first opening to allow wash water to flow to the first flow channel and a second opening to allow wash water to flow to the second flow channel. A valve is coupled to the flow path guide and is configured to open or close one of the first opening and the second opening. The valve includes a rotatable float. The rotatable float closes the first opening while opening the second opening at a first point in time, and the rotatable float rotates to open the second opening while closing the second opening at a second point in time.

Abstract: A washing machine includes a washing tub rotatably disposed to accommodate laundry, a pulsator rotatably disposed in the washing tub, a drive shaft to rotate the pulsator, a dehydration shaft to be connected to the washing tub and through which the drive shaft passes, a solenoid to form a magnetic field when a current is applied, a fixing core to surround the solenoid, and a clutch to couple and uncouple the drive shaft and the dehydration shaft. The clutch includes an armature to be lifted by a magnetic force of the solenoid, and a clutch coupler to be elevated along the dehydration shaft, perform coupling between the drive shaft and the dehydration shaft in a first position, and perform uncoupling between the drive shaft and the dehydration shaft in a second position lifted from the first position. The shape of the armature provides a more uniform lifting force.
