A method for operating a water-conducting domestic appliance, such as a dishwasher, includes filling the water-conducting domestic appliance with a minimum amount of filling water that is circulated by a pump, and checking a water flow diverter for malfunctions and determining from an operational parameter of an electromotor that drives the pump whether the pump runs smoothly, thereby indicating whether the quantity of filling water corresponds to at least a nominal quantity of filling water. When the water flow diverter is not malfunctioning, the pump is again checked for smooth running or a refilling step is carried out to increase the minimum amount of filling water. Conversely, when the water flow diverter is malfunctioning, the check for smooth running or the refilling step are omitted.

Method for operating a water-conducting domestic appliance

A domestic appliance includes a housing, a base support configured to support the housing on a floor, and a communication module configured to send and/or receive data wirelessly. The communication module is disposed within the base support, with the base support being made of plastic, at least in an area adjacent to the communication module.

Domestic appliance

A dishwasher includes a controller controlling a cleaning cycle, a screen system for filtering a wash fluid, a circulation chamber and a collection chamber in fluid communication with the circulation chamber via a screen arrangement, a circulation pump for circulating the wash fluid and a drain pump for pumping out the wash fluid. During the cleaning cycle, to detect blockage in the screen arrangement, a degree of transmission in the circulation chamber filled with wash fluid is determined with an optical turbidity sensor in a first measuring step. The wash fluid is then pumped out of the collection chamber and the degree of transmission in the circulation chamber is again determined in a second measuring step. The change in the degree of transmission from the first measuring step to the second measuring step is then evaluated.

Dishwasher with a screen system

A dishwasher includes a control facility for executing a wash cycle for cleaning items held in a wash chamber which is filled with water via a water inlet facility having an inlet valve operably connected to the control facility. To identify malfunction of the water inlet facility, the control facility executes an identification sequence which includes a test filling phase, in which the inlet valve is opened for a period corresponding to a predefined time value. A detection facility detects during operation of a recirculation pump to recirculate water in the wash chamber at least one operating parameter corresponding to a quantity of water in the wash chamber at an end of the test filling phase. The control facility determines a water flow into the wash chamber during the test filling phase from the detected operating parameter and compares the determined water flow with a minimum water flow.

Dishwasher with fault identification

A household appliance includes an operating display unit having at least one visual and/or acoustic display to at least display and/or signal a completed treatment cycle, and an actuatable switching unit configured to activate and deactivate the household appliance. An on switch is provided to generate an activation signal for actuating the switching unit to thereby activate the household appliance, and a control device is provided to generate a deactivation signal for actuating the switching unit when a treatment cycle is completed and to thereby deactivate at least the display unit.

Household appliance, in particular a household dishwashing machine

A household appliance, in particular a household dishwasher, includes an operating display unit having at least one visual display, and a power supply network for supply of electrical energy. The household appliance is isolated from the power supply network after completion of a treatment cycle, and the visual display is configured to display at least the completion of the completed treatment cycle as a first operating state.

A household appliance, in particular a household dishwasher, includes an operating display unit having at least one visual and/or acoustic display, which is activated at least to display and/or signal a completion of a treatment cycle for a predefined time period on or after completion of the treatment cycle. The time period is hereby set by a delay element.

Household appliance and method for operating a household appliance

A household appliance, in particular a household dishwasher, includes an external display, a transmission interface connected for signal transmission to the external display, and a power supply network for supply of electrical energy. The household appliance is isolated from the power supply network after completion of a treatment cycle, and the transmission interface is configured to transmit a signal to activate the external display to display at least the completion of the treatment cycle before the household appliance is isolated from the power supply network.

A sensor device and method for detecting the turbidity of wash liquor. The sensor device includes an optical transmitter; an optical receiver, wherein the wash liquor to be tested flows between the transmitter and the receiver; and an electronic control and evaluation device to (a) carry out a reference measurement by means of the optical transmitter and receiver in order to determine a reference measured value; (b) carry out a turbidity measurement on the wash liquor to be measured by means of the optical transmitter and receiver in order to determine a test measured value; (c) relate the reference measured value to the test measured value; and (d) determine a characteristic value for a determined turbidity of the wash liquor therefrom and transmit the characteristic value as a measurement signal. The determination of the reference measured value and the test measured value include determining a gradient of the turbidity.

Sensor device and method for detecting the turbidity of wash liquor

A water-conducting domestic appliance having a drain pump, a controller to activate the drain pump, and a water safety switch that has a first switch position to react to escaping water, wherein the water safety switch is connected to the controller. If a fault causes water to escape, the water safety switch switches into the first switch position so as to connect the controller to an electrical mains.

Water-conducting domestic appliance

A domestic appliance that includes at least one mains connection for the supply of power to the domestic appliance from a building supply mains. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the mains connection may include data transfer contacts.

Mains connection of a domestic appliance

A floor-mounted domestic appliance includes an A.C. power connector that supplies the appliance with electric energy, an appliance outlet that corresponds to the A.C. power connector, wherein the appliance outlet comprises a terminal block for establishing an electrically conducting connection to a power supply lead.

Floor-mounted domestic appliance

A water-bearing household appliance such as a dishwashing machine is provided with a housing having a housing edge which defines a washing compartment opening and with a washing compartment which is enclosed by the housing and which is defined by the housing. A seal is provided onto which a device door can be closed to abut the seal and the dishwashing machine has lighting elements arranged in the area between the housing edge and the seal for illuminating the washing compartment.

Ribbon cable lighting for a water-bearing household appliance

A household appliance including at least one current sensor for measuring a fault current occurring in the appliance. A safety device which triggers a safety measure in the appliance in response to a predetermined detected fault current value.

Method for checking electrical safety of a household appliance and corresponding household appliance

A method for calibrating a sensor, particularly a turbidity sensor in a domestic appliance, such as a dishwasher or washing machine, with the aid of reference values, including the determination of measuring values, with at least one measured value selected using probability calculus that is no longer taken into account when determining the reference values.
