Abstract
A dishwasher appliance includes a door pivotally providing selective access to the wash chamber and a venting system comprising a first fan for urging chamber air from the wash chamber and a second fan for urging ambient air, wherein the chamber air and the ambient air mix to create a mixed flow of air that is discharged from the dishwasher appliance. A controller is configured to energize the first fan and the second fan, monitor a power draw by the first fan and the second fan, determine that the venting system has malfunctioned based at least in part on the power draw by the first fan and the second fan, and implement a responsive action in response to determining that the venting system has malfunctioned based at least in part on the power draw.
