Abstract

A dishwashing appliance may include a cabinet, a door, and a sensor assembly. The cabinet may extend along a lateral direction between a first side and a second side. The cabinet may define a wash chamber for receipt of articles for washing. The door may extend along a vertical direction between a top end and a bottom end. The door may be rotatably mounted to the cabinet to move along a rotation path between an opened position and a closed position. The sensor assembly may be attached to the cabinet to detect a positional angle of the door. The sensor assembly may include a wave emission sensor directed at the rotation path to project an emitted wave and a wave reception sensor spaced apart from the wave emission sensor to receive a reflection of the emitted wave.
