    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 arm assemblies for dishwasher appliances are provided. A spray arm assembly includes a first spray arm. The first spray arm includes an arm member, the arm member defining an interior and a plurality of apertures in fluid communication with the interior. The arm member further extends along and is rotatable about a longitudinal axis. The spray arm assembly further includes a central housing defining and rotatable about a central axis, the central axis generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. In some embodiments, the spray arm assembly further includes a bevel drive assembly disposed within the central housing. The bevel drive assembly is configured to rotate the arm member about the longitudinal axis when the central housing rotates about the central axis. The bevel drive assembly includes a drive member, an axle member, and an idler member, the axle member mounted to the arm member.
