Patent number: 10813526Abstract: A dishwasher has a treating chamber for receiving dishes for treatment according to an automatic cycle of operation and a dispensing system for storing and dispensing a treating chemistry to the treating chamber during the cycle of operation. The dishwasher may dispense a treating chemistry when a temperature of a liquid in the treating chamber satisfies a predetermined temperature threshold. The temperature of the liquid may be maintained to satisfy the predetermined temperature threshold for a predetermined period of time based on the treating chemistry.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2019Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventors: Mark S. Feddema, Elliott V. Stowe, Mohan Takale

Patent number: 10548457Abstract: A dishwasher utensil basket includes a mechanism for unloading multiple utensils at once without the user having to directly handle the utensils. The mechanism can include a grid that is loaded with utensils for treatment. The basket can include multiple zones for loading utensils, each provided with an individually-operable unloading mechanism. A user can unload the basket by holding a handle of the basket in one hand and squeezing an actuator of the mechanism toward the handle using the thumb of the same hand.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2017Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventors: Michael I. Hirsh, Sujit S. Naik, Hrushikesh C. Prabhu, Mohan Takale
