    Abstract: Dishwasher appliances and method for operating dishwasher appliances are provided. A method includes executing a wet cycle, wherein a heating unit and a fan of a desiccant assembly are active during the wet cycle. The desiccant assembly includes the heating unit, the fan, and a desiccant module and is in fluid communication with a wash chamber of the dishwasher appliance. The method further includes executing a delay period, the delay period occurring for a predetermined time period between the wet cycle and a dry cycle, wherein the heating unit and the fan are inactive during the delay period. The method further includes draining liquid from the wash chamber after the delay period, and executing a dry cycle, wherein the fan is active and the heating unit is inactive during the dry cycle.

    Abstract: A rack lifting assembly for a dishwasher appliance is provided. The rack lifting assembly includes frame having rotatably mounted wheels to enable the frame to be rolled in and out of the wash chamber of the dishwasher appliance. A lower rack may be operably coupled to the frame by a pulley system including a rope winding between a first set of pulleys mounted to the frame and a second set of pulleys mounted to the lower rack. A retracting means, such as a motor, may wind and unwind a rope of the pulley system to move the lower rack vertically within the frame. Linear slides are mounted on the left and right sides of the frame to guide the lower rack, thereby keeping it in a horizontal orientation while lifting.
