A dish washer and a control method are disclosed. The dish washer includes a sump and at least one nozzle configured to inject water. The dish washer also includes a distributor configured to receive water of the sump and distribute the water to the at least one nozzle. The dish washer also includes a reservoir configured to receive and store the water of the sump. The dish washer also includes a circulation path configured to connect the sump and the distributor. The dish washer also includes an inflow path configured to branch off from the circulation path to supply the water of the sump to the reservoir. The dish washer also includes a first valve configured to open or close the inflow path and a second valve configured to open or close the outflow path, and the outflow path is configured to flow the water out of the reservoir.

Dish washer

It is an aspect of the present disclosure to provide a dish washing machine capable of actively responding to a problem when circulation of washing water is not smoothly performed by sequentially and selectively performing a bubble removal operation, a filter blockage removal operation, and a water supply operation, and a method of controlling the same.

Dish washing machine and method of controlling the same

Disclosed herein is a dishwasher including a main body provided with an open hole and a washing tub; a door configured to open or close the open hole; a door opening/closing member configured to open or close the open hole; an air curtain disposed in the main body, to operate a fan such that ambient air is sucked and the sucked air is discharged; a detector configured to detect information of the fan; and a controller configured to diagnose the failure of the fan based on the detected information of the fan, to control an operation of the door opening/closing member such that the door is opened at a predetermined open time and an open time of the door is delayed when the fan is a failure state, and to control an operation of the fan when the fan is a normal state during a drying operation.

Dishwasher and method for controlling the same

Provided are a dish washing machine capable of effectively removing garbage which remains at the bottom of a washing tub and a filter and a method of controlling the same. When washing water is sprayed from a nozzle while a vane is positioned at a reference position during a drainage operation, since a deflection angle of the vane is bent back and the washing water is strongly sprayed toward a rear wall of a washing tub, the washing water may form a fast and strong water current over a bottom plate of the washing tub, and the fast and strong water current may remove garbage which remains at a filter while flowing over the bottom of the washing tub. Also, even when an excessive amount of garbage is accumulated at a filter at a top end of a sump and blocks the filter during a washing operation such as preliminary washing, main washing, etc., the filter is automatically washed using a small amount of water, thereby eliminating inconvenience of a user to directly separate and wash the filter. Also, washing performance may be effectively improved by precisely determining whether degradation in washing performance caused by a poor circulation of washing water occurs due to a filter blockage or generation of bubbles.

Dish washer and method for controlling same

Provided are a dish washing machine and a controlling method thereof. When water is sprayed from a nozzle while a vane is positioned at a reference position during a drainage operation, since a deflection angle of the vane is bent back and the water is sprayed toward a rear wall of a washing tub, the water forms a fast and strong water current over a bottom plate of the washing tub to remove garbage which remains at a filter while flowing over the bottom of the washing tub. Accumulation at a filter at a top end of a sump and that may block the filter during washing such as preliminary washing, main washing, etc., is washed, thereby eliminating the inconvenience of having to separate and wash the filter, and effectively improves performance by avoiding poor circulation of water that may occur due to a filter blockage or generation of bubbles.

A dish washer is provided to improve washing efficiency by washing dishware having severe degree of contamination in a concentrated manner through an auxiliary spraying nozzle, and which is also easily setting a concentrated wash zone as a user varies a position of the auxiliary spraying nozzle. The dish washer may include a main spraying nozzle which sprays wash water to dishware baskets, a connecting path to connect a sump unit to the main spraying nozzle, an auxiliary spraying nozzle to receive wash water from the sump unit and spray wash water to dishware baskets, and an auxiliary path to connect the sump unit to the auxiliary spraying nozzle. A spraying position of wash water supplied from the auxiliary spraying nozzle is varied by rotation of the auxiliary path, thereby washing dishware having severe degree of contamination in a concentrated manner.

A vessel holder and a dish washing machine having the same, in which, when vessels are put into and washed in the dish washing machine, the vessels can be stably washed by improving a fixed state of each thereof. The dish washing machine includes a washing space, a vessel basket installed in the washing space, and includes wires, at least one vessel holder detachably installed to the vessel basket, and allowing a vessel to be inserted thereinto and supported therein. The vessel holder includes a plurality of supports elastically supporting the vessel, and an inserting part provided between the supports and allowing the vessel to be inserted thereinto.

Vessel holder and dish washing machine having the same

A dishwasher capable of fastening a basket of the dishwasher therein using a fixation member and a basket fixation apparatus of the dishwasher, the dishwasher including a body having an opening, a washing tub provided at an inside the body, a basket disposed at an inside the washing tub to store dishware, a stopper disposed to at least one inner side of the washing tub, and a fixation member configured to prevent the basket from being separated from the body and to be able to move between a stop state that one portion of the fixation member is engaged with the stopper and a release state that the fixation member is moved from the stop state for the basket to be withdrawn from the body.

Dishwasher and basket fixation apparatus

Disclosed herein is a dish washing machine including a sump unit capable of supplying, to an injection nozzle, wash water flowing in accordance with operation of an impeller, without using a separate channel member. The dish washing machine includes a body provided with a washing tub, a sump unit arranged in the washing tub, and at least one injection nozzle to inject wash water into the washing tub. The sump unit includes a sump housing, an impeller arranged in the sump housing, to pump wash water from the sump housing, and a guide member, to which the sump housing is mounted. The guide member guides the wash water pumped by the impeller directly to the injection nozzle.

Dish washing machine

A dish washing machine having a basket height adjusting apparatus. The dish washing machine includes a machine body having a washing tub defined therein, a basket disposed in the washing tub to receive dishes to be washed, and a basket height adjusting apparatus. The basket height adjusting apparatus includes a support bracket mounted at each side of the basket such that the support bracket can be moved vertically, rollers mounted to the support bracket to slide the basket forward and backward, and an adjusting lever mounted at the basket to adjust a vertical movement of the support bracket and to thereby adjust the height of the basket. The adjusting lever is moved along with the basket. Consequently, in the present invention, the thumb of a user is not caught in the basket and injured when the user rotates the adjusting lever.

Dish washing machine with basket height adjusting apparatus
