Abstract
A system adapted to detect rotation of at least two spray arms of a household appliance spaced along a longitudinal axis of the appliance includes a first detection magnet, a second detection magnet and a magnetic sensor. The first detection magnet is arranged on a first spray arm of the at least two spray arms. The second detection magnet is arranged on a second spray arm of the at least two spray arms. A magnetic field direction of the second detection magnet is different from a magnetic field direction of the first detection magnet. The magnetic sensor is arranged in the household appliance and is adapted to sense a motion status of the first detection magnet and the second detection magnet.
