  • Publication number: 20250098934
    Abstract: A household dishwasher includes a dishwasher cavity, and a receptacle for items to be washed. The receptacle can be shifted into and at least partially out of the dishwasher cavity. An electric motor having a motor parameter is designed to shift in a driving state the receptacle into or at least partially out of the dishwasher cavity and is decoupled in a free-running state from the receptacle and/or disconnected from a power supply. A detection unit detects a blockage of the receptacle and/or a stop request of a user as a function of the motor parameter, and a switching unit switches the electric motor into the free-running state as a function of the detected blockage or the detected stop request.
