A dishwasher appliance includes a tub defining a wash chamber for receipt of articles for washing, a fluid delivery device configured for delivering wash fluid into the wash chamber, and a camera assembly mounted with a view of the wash chamber including a location where the fluid delivery device is configured for delivering the wash fluid. A controller is configured to obtain consecutive images of the wash fluid in the wash chamber, determine whether the fluid delivery device is providing acceptable delivery of the wash fluid into the wash chamber, wherein the determining includes using the consecutive images of the wash fluid to determine whether there are differences in the wash fluid present in the wash chamber, and initiate corrective action if the fluid delivery device is not providing an acceptable delivery of the wash fluid into the wash chamber.

A dishwasher appliance includes a tub defining a wash chamber for receipt of a load of articles for washing, a door providing selective access to the wash chamber, and a camera assembly mounted with a view of the load of articles. A controller is configured to determine that a cleaning cycle has been completed, obtain a first image using the camera assembly, determine that the door has been opened, obtain a second image using the camera assembly, determine that a predetermined number of articles from the load of articles has been removed from the wash chamber based at least in part on the first image and the second image, and provide a user notification that the load of articles is dirty in response to determining that the predetermined number of articles has been removed from the wash chamber.

A method of assembling a dishwashing appliance includes selecting one fan cover from a plurality of fan covers. Each fan cover of the plurality of fan covers is configured to be removably mounted in a vent conduit. The plurality of fan covers are each interchangeable with every other fan cover of the plurality of fan covers. The method also includes mounting the selected fan cover removably in the vent conduit. Such mounting results in the formation of a flow path for air from an ambient environment outside of the dishwashing appliance through the vent conduit and the fan cover. The flow path for air from the ambient environment is partially defined by a wall of the fan cover.

An air conditioning assembly for a recreational vehicle may include a sealed refrigeration system, a display screen, and a controller. The sealed refrigeration system may be mounted to the recreational vehicle. The display screen may be mounted to the recreational vehicle. The controller may be in operable communication with the sealed refrigeration system and the display screen. The controller may be configured to initiate a system operation. The system operation may include detecting the corresponding condition of the air conditioner assembly, presenting a variable field value at the discrete output field based on the detected corresponding condition, determining an anomaly at the air conditioner assembly, and changing the discrete output field to present a predetermined field value in response to determining the anomaly.

A dishwasher appliance can include a basket configured for receipt of articles for washing and a camera assembly mounted within the wash chamber with a view of a rack assembly. A controller is operably coupled with the camera assembly and may be configured for obtaining an image of the rack assembly positioned in the wash chamber, determining whether the basket is positioned in the rack assembly, and adjusting at least one operating parameter of the dishwashing appliance based on whether the basket is positioned in the rack assembly.

An article holder assembly for use with a dishwasher appliance includes a base portion adapted to fit onto an upper rack or a lower rack of the dishwasher appliance. The article holder assembly includes at least one arm member removably coupled to the base portion, a first attachment location for the at least one arm member, and a second attachment location for the at least one arm member. Further, the article holder assembly is adjustable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. Thus, in the engaged position, the arm member(s) is secured to the first attachment location such that the arm member(s) extends outward from the base portion to support one or more of the articles during a wash cycle of the dishwasher appliance. Moreover, in the disengaged position, the arm member(s) is secured to the second attachment location such that the arm member(s) rests against the base portion.

A recreational vehicle air conditioner and methods of operating a recreational vehicle air conditioner are provided. The recreational vehicle air conditioner may be configured for, and the method may include, receiving a mode selection input comprising one of a thermostat mode and a direct control mode. The recreational vehicle air conditioner may further be configured for, and the method may further include, operating the recreational vehicle air conditioner independently of an external display device when the mode selection input is thermostat mode and operating the recreational vehicle air conditioner in response to one or more commands from the external display device when the mode selection input is direct control mode.

Universal control for recreational vehicle air conditioner

An article holder assembly for use in a dishwasher appliance includes a first attachment arm for securing to a first side wall of a rack of the dishwasher appliance, a second attachment arm for securing to an opposing, second side wall of a rack of the dishwasher appliance, and at least one article positioning arm secured between the first and second attachment arms. The article positioning arm(s) is movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. Thus, the article positioning arm(s) defines a predefined geometry configured to receive a portion of one or more articles for cleaning in the dishwasher appliance. Further, when the article positioning arm(s) is in the engaged position, the predefined geometry positions and secures one or more of the articles on a rack of the dishwasher appliance for cleaning.

An electronic sensor assembly for a recreational vehicle may include a wired electronic sensor and a sensor cover supporting the wired electronic sensor on an interior wall. The sensor cover may include a cover sidewall, a cover faceplate, and a sensor clip arm. The cover sidewall may be in selective engagement with the interior wall. The cover faceplate may extend from the cover sidewall. The cover faceplate may have an outer surface direct outward from the interior wall and an inner surface directed inward toward the interior wall. The sensor clip arm may extend inward from the inner surface. The sensor clip arm may hold the wired electronic sensor within an interior volume defined by the cover sidewall and the cover faceplate.

A packaged terminal air conditioner unit includes an inlet conduit coupled to a compressor at an accumulator of the compressor. An outlet conduit is coupled to the compressor at a discharge of the compressor. The discharge of the compressor is positioned at a top portion of the compressor. The outlet conduit extends upwardly along a vertical direction from the discharge of the compressor between a pair of angled segments of the inlet conduit. The pair of angled segments of the inlet conduit is positioned above the compressor along the vertical direction.
