A multi-compartment dishwasher may include a treating chemistry dispenser for storing and dispensing treating chemistry into the multiple compartments of the dishwasher. In one embodiment, the treating chemistry may be dispensed into a liquid recirculation circuit. In another embodiment, the treating chemistry dispenser may be located between the multiple chambers of the dishwasher.

Dispenser for multi-compartment dishwasher

A dishwasher includes a door with at least a first part and a second part. The first part may be pivotally mounted to the dishwasher. The second part may be configured to be coupled to the first part for cooperative pivoting of the first part and the second part in one mode of operation. The second part may also be configured to move independently of the first part in another mode of operation.

Dishwasher with transforming door

A dishwasher for treating dishes according to at least one automatic cycle of operation and including a tub having a bottom wall for at least partially defining a treating chamber in which dishes may be received for treatment, at least one sprayer provided on the bottom wall, and having at least one opening through which liquid is emitted into the treating chamber, and a recirculation circuit fluidly coupling the treating chamber to the at least one sprayer such that liquid emitted into the treating chamber may be directed back to the sprayer for recirculation.

Dishwasher with sprayer

A dishwasher may include a closure element, such as a door, a user interface on the closure element, and a controller. A data communication link having a first data connector may be coupled to the controller, and a second data connector may be coupled to the user interface. The first and second data connectors may communicatively couple when the closure element is in the closed condition to establish data communication between the controller and the user interface. The communication link may also form a power link to provide power to the user interface across an electrical link.
