摘要： A protective circuit arrangement for sheathed heating elements which interrupts ground fault conditions by effectively decoupling the power line from the heating element regardless of the polarity of the power supply connections. A fusible link couples each side of the heating element to the power supply. A normally open switch responsive to current in the ground path switches a relatively low resistance shunt current path across the heating element when the ground current exceeds a predetermined threshold level. Closure of the shunt path enables sufficient current to flow in the power supply lines to actuate the fusible links. Circuit parameters are selected such that the current in the fusible link coupled to the hot power line is sufficiently greater than that in the fusible link coupled to the neutral line to cause the hot power line fusible link to be actuated first, thereby interrupting the fault condition and decoupling the hot power line from the heating element.

摘要： A vent arrangement for dishwashers for venting the hot humid air displaced from the interior of the dishwasher during drying cycles which minimizes the formation of condensate on the exterior surfaces in and about the vent exit opening. The vent exit opening is located in the uppermost region of the dishwasher door and of relatively large area to allow efficient convection drying action, while a plurality of vent exit opening ribs are disposed vertically within the vent exit opening, the vent exit ribs have a particular cross-sectional shape such as to minimize the formation of condensate. The cross-sectional shape includes flange portions laterally extending from a body portion along the frontal edge of each of the vent exit ribs, creating a T-shape to produce an air flow effect minimizing the contact of the vented air with the surface of the ribs and also acting to reduce the thermal mass of the ribs to further minimize condensation. The ribs are formed integrally with a molded plastic vent duct housing, the duct housing also having an upper interior surface and deflector lip configured to direct air flow downwardly as it exits through the opening to reduce condensation on the upper edge. A catch lip extends across the inner edge of the vent duct adjacent the vent exit opening to capture condensate formed on the duct upper surface. The vent exit rib flange shape and vertical disposition recessed within the vent exit opening guide any slight condensate which does form back into the interior of the dishwasher.

摘要： A dishwasher is disclosed which includes a tub formed of plastic, such as polypropylene, or other heat-deformable material. A heating element for effecting the final drying of the articles in the dishwasher is disposed near the bottom wall of the tub where the heat from the heating element could cause a deformation of the adjacent portion of the bottom wall of the tub. A shallow receptacle is disposed between the heating element and the portion of the bottom wall of the tub in close proximity thereto. The receptacle retains a small amount of the water used in the washing and rinsing operations and the evaporation of this water during the energization of the heating element insures that the temperature of the adjacent bottom wall remains below that at which any damage thereto could occur. Spaced dividers extending transversely of the slope of the bottom wall are provided in the receptacle to insure that water is retained therein over substantially the entire surface of the bottom of the receptacle.

摘要： An arrangement for controlling communication of a dishwasher vent opening to allow escape of the humid air from the interior of the dishwasher cabinet during the drying cycle, while sealing the opening during the wash and rinse cycles, including a vertically aligned series of ribs mounted within the opening. Each rib is trough-shaped to provide a liquid retention channel and the bottom of each rib is positioned within the next succeeding rib such that upon each channel being filled with water, a water seal of the opening is achieved. Alternate ends of each rib are open to create a cascade flow draining of the water through the rib series. The water level is maintained by being continuously replenished during the wash and rinse cycles to maintain the water seal. At the end of the rinse cycle, the water drains from the liquid retention channels to enable venting of the interior air through the ribs.

摘要： A protective circuit for a heating element in a polymeric resinous tub dishwasher including an electric-type resistance heating element and a heat-sensible, dual-functioning switch. The switch is connected in the ground circuit so that current passing to ground will cause a fusible link to melt and thereby open the ground circuit. At the same time, melting of the link allows a switch in the power circuit to open, thereby eliminating any power to the heating element.

摘要： Motor controlled dispenser apparatus for a washing appliance includes a first dispenser for storing and dispensing a first treating agent having a dispensing member movable between a closed position in which the interior of the dispenser is sealed and an open position in which the interior of the dispenser is exposed to enable the dispensing of a first treating agent; a second dispenser for storing and dispensing a second treating agent; a dispenser actuating member movable between a rest position, a first dispensing position and a second dispensing position; and a gear assembly coupling the dispenser actuating member to a motor-driven shaft, for controlling the rate of movement of the dispenser actuating member in accordance with the rate of rotation of the shaft. The dispensing member is coupled to the dispenser actuating member for movement therewith. The rate of movement of the dispensing member from its closed to its open position being determined by the rate of rotation of the motor-driven shaft. The dispenser actuating member in moving from its first to its second dispensing position places the second dispenser in condition for dispensing the second treating agent. The dispenser actuating member is returned to its rest position by user movement of the dispensing member to its closed position.

摘要： In one embodiment, a sheathed electrical resistance heating unit is operated from a 120 volt unbalanced-to-ground household power line. The heating unit sheath is grounded. In order to interrupt a fault between the actual resistance heating element and the outer sheath of the heating unit, regardless of where along the length of the heating unit the fault occurs, a fuse is connected in series with the "hot" side of the power line, and, by means of at least one unidirectional current conducting device, the two terminals of the heating element are effectively connected, through the fuse, to the "hot" side of the power line during alternate AC half-cycles.
