Example embodiments provide a dishwasher comprising a tub; a door configured for selectively sealing a forward access opening of the tub; a detergent dispenser located at an inner surface of the door; a spray arm mounted within the tub such that the spray arm is adjustable between a first height and a second height, the spray arm comprising a spray detergent nozzle; and a circulation pump configured to supply washing liquid to the spray arm. The dishwasher is characterized in that the spray arm is configured to emit a fan-shaped jet from the spray detergent nozzle when the washing liquid is supplied to the spray arm and the spray arm is configured to emit the fan-shaped jet that is incident upon the detergent dispenser both when the spray arm is positioned at the first height and when the spray arm is positioned at the second height.

Fan-shaped spray detergent nozzle

Provided herein are a spray arm assembly and associated dishwasher. The spray arm assembly may include a spray arm and a satellite arm. The spray arm may have a body defining an inlet opening and an outlet opening spaced along the body, and the body may receive washing fluid at the inlet opening and direct at least a portion of the washing fluid to an outlet opening. The body may further define one or more fluid supply channels extending between and fluidly communicating the inlet opening and the outlet opening. The satellite arm may be rotatably coupled to the spray arm at the outlet opening, and a portion of the one or more fluid supply channels may extend past the outlet opening to direct at least a portion of the washing fluid past the outlet opening and back towards the inlet opening before entering the outlet opening.

Spray arm assembly

A spray assembly may include a water supply conduit, a main spray arm, and a satellite spray arm. The main spray arm may be rotatably coupled to the water supply conduit to rotate about a first axis, and a satellite spray arm may be rotatably coupled to the main spray arm to rotate about a second axis. The satellite may define at least one nozzle and at least one fluid channel extending from the second axis to the at least one nozzle. The at least one fluid channel of the satellite spray arm may define an arcuate shape having a portion proximate the second axis disposed at a first distance relative to the base parallel to the second axis, and the at least one nozzle being disposed a second distance relative to the base parallel to the second axis. The second distance may be shorter than the first distance.

Dishwasher spray arm assembly

A dishware supporting arrangement is provided that may include a mesh structure and a tilting mechanism. The mesh structure may include a structure main extension plane and may include a first plurality of ribs connected to a second plurality of ribs. The first plurality of ribs may extend along a first plane at a first angle and the second plurality of ribs may extend along a second plane at a second angle. The tilting mechanism may allow the mesh structure to be titled around at least one axis between a first position and a second position and may hold the mesh structure in the first position and in the second position. Each of the first plurality of ribs and each of the second plurality of ribs may be inclined in relation to the rack main extension plane at the first position and at the second position.
