Abstract: A dish treating appliance for treating dishes according to an automatic cycle of operation and including a tub at least partially defining a treating chamber, multiple sprayers emitting a liquid into the treating chamber, and a diverter valve having a rotatable valve body, which can be rotated to discrete rotational positions to selectively fluidly couple with the multiple sprayers. A rotary drive is located exteriorly of the tub and comprises a housing defining an interior with a liquid leak reservoir, a motor carried by the housing, an output shaft rotationally driven by the motor, extending through the housing and the tub, and operably coupled to the valve body, and a printed circuit board (PCB) located within the housing.

Abstract: A dish treating appliance has a tub at least partially defining a treating chamber for holding dishes for treatment according to an automatic cycle of operation. An access opening provides access to the treating chamber. There are multiple sprayers that emit liquid into the treating chamber, multiple feed tubes fluidly coupled to the multiple sprayers, a diverter valve selectively fluidly connecting to the multiple feed tubes, and a pump having an inlet fluidly coupled to the treating chamber and an outlet fluidly coupled to the diverter valve.
