Abstract
A dishwashing appliance may include a cabinet, a tub, a door, a sensor assembly, and a controller. The tub may be mounted within the cabinet and define a wash chamber for receipt of articles for washing. The door may be movably mounted to the cabinet. The door may be movable between a latched position restricting access to the wash chamber and an unlatched position permitting access to the wash chamber. The sensor assembly may be mounted to the door to detect a position thereof. The controller may be configured to initiate a detection operation. The detection operation may include determining a future-use chamber cycle (FCC) to be initiated at a delayed time period, detecting the door in the unlatched position at the sensor assembly, generating a door-alert signal in response to detecting the door in the unlatched position, and restricting initiation of the FCC following generating the door-alert signal.
