Abstract
A dishwasher includes a tub and a bottom assembly disposed below the tub and including at least one fluid collection apparatus having a main reservoir with a fluid overflow safety unit and at least one additional intermediate reservoir for collecting leakage and/or overflow fluid from the tub and/or at least one fluid-conducting component. The additional intermediate reservoir is disposed and configured such that solid particles contained in the leakage and/or overflow fluid can largely be deposited and/or retained in the at least one additional intermediate reservoir. The additional intermediate reservoir is connected to the main reservoir by at least one run-off to conduct fluid out of the additional intermediate reservoir into the main reservoir when a predetermined fill level top limit in the additional intermediate reservoir is exceeded, with the run-off having a gradient from the intermediate reservoir to the main reservoir.
