Abstract: A dishwasher includes a filter member that is inserted through the lower surface of a tub at a time of replacing the filter member and is applicable regardless of the type of a dishwasher, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and enhancing user convenience. The cylinder-shaped filter member is accommodated entirely in a filter housing, and external air flows into the filter member through the upper end and the lower end of the filter member respectively and then passes through the outer circumferential surface of the filter member, to be filtered, thereby preventing the filter member from being blocked partially and ensuring a sufficient flow rate of air.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dishwasher which can effectively prevent a drying air supply part or a base from being damaged by a vibration occurring during a washing operation and an external impact resulting from, for example, a drop test, can prevent the drying air supply part from physically coming into direct contact with the base, and can minimize the amount of heat transferred from the drying air supply part to the base.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a dishwasher in which a single heater bracket is used to support and fix a heater in a heater housing, thereby reducing flow resistance against dry airflow flowing in the heater housing and minimizing the generation of noise, and in which the heater bracket, and a supporting leg supporting the heater housing with respect to a base are fastened to the heater housing at the same time by a single fastener, thereby simplifying the inner structure of the heater housing and minimizing costs incurred for assembling and manufacturing a dry air supply part.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a filter member having a handle integrally provided at an upper cover of the filter member. The filter member is accommodated in a filter accommodation space of a filter housing, where a movement space of the filter member is larger than the filter member, thereby preventing damage to the filter material or a fall of contaminants into the filter housing effectively, during withdrawal and insertion of the filter member. A separation space defined between the filter housing and the upper cover of the filter member is closed by a gasket, in the state where the filter member is disposed in the filter housing completely, thereby preventing the flow of non-filtered air into the filter housing effectively.

Abstract: A dishwasher prevents an airflow guide from clattering effectively without an additional member and supports the airflow guide reliably. A lower end surface of a fastening nut is exposed to a wash space. The dishwasher prevents wash water from remaining between the fastening nut and a tub, and prevents the tub and a dry air supply hole from corroding.
