Abstract: An in-door vent system provides an electric fan (32) directing a first portion of fresh air into the dishwasher cavity (12) to cause moist air to pass vertically downward through a condensation chimney. The condensation chimney has separating dividers (44,44') to promote condensation and to mix the moist air with a second portion of the fresh air from the electric fan (32). Condensate moisture drains out of the bottom of the chimney back into the washing cavity received by the dishwasher drain. A U-trap communicates with a venting exhaust opening (28) discharging cooler and drier air outside of the dishwasher.
