Abstract: A dishwasher having a treating chamber with one or more sprayers through which liquid is recirculated into the treating chamber, whereby the impact of the spray emitted from the sprayers impacts the structure forming the treating chamber to generate noise. Damping material is applied to structure forming the treating chamber to reduce the sound level of the impact exterior of the dishwasher.

Abstract: A foam panel for use in a dish treating appliance having a door. The foam panel comprises areas of differing densities. The foam panel comprises uncompressed and compressed areas to form at least some of the areas of differing densities. The foam panel also comprising at least one wiring attachment provided with the foam panel wherein the wiring attachment comprises at least one rib formed in the foam panel.

Abstract: A dishwasher can comprise a tub to define a treating chamber in which articles are treated according to a cycle of operation. The treating chamber can have an access opening with a cover selectively permitting access to the treating chamber. A condenser assembly can fluidly couple to the treating chamber for drying articles washed during the cycler of operation. The condenser can fluidly couple to an exhaust conduit disposed in a toe kick panel, which attenuates the sound travelling through the toe kick panel.

Abstract: A dishwasher can comprise a tub to at least define a treating chamber. The treating chamber can have an access opening with a cover selectively permitting access to the treating chamber. The condenser assembly can be made of a multi-layer absorptive acoustic material, which attenuates sound emanating from the treating chamber and travelling through the condensing section. The sounds attenuation can provide for reducing or eliminating the need for sound insulation necessary within the dishwasher.

Abstract: A dishwasher for treating dishes according to an automatic cycle of operation includes a tub with an access opening, at least one dish rack within the treating chamber and accessible through the access opening, a closure element moveable between a closed and opened position to selectively close and open the access opening, and a treating chemistry dispenser. The treating chemistry dispenser includes a housing defining a treating chemistry reservoir with a dispensing opening, a lid slidably mounted to the housing for sliding movement along a travel path between a closed and opened position to selectively open and close the treating chemistry reservoir, and a biasing element operably coupled to the lid and biasing the lid from the closed to the opened position.

Abstract: A dish treating appliance for treating dishes having a tub at least partially defining a treating chamber with an access opening and a door movable between opened/closed positions to selectively open/close the access opening. The door having an inner door panel confronting the treating chamber in the closed position, and an outer door panel spaced from the inner door panel to define a door cavity there between. A foam panel located within the door cavity, the foam panel have areas of differing densities.

Abstract: A dishwasher for automatically executing a cycle of operation for treatment of dishes includes a tub having multiple walls at least partially defining a treating chamber for receiving dishes for treatment wherein at least one of the multiple walls is thermoformed from sheet material and a method of making a tub for a dishwasher.

Abstract: A dishwasher having a treating chamber for receiving dishes for treatment according to an automatic treating cycle within the treating chamber that includes a shell partially defining the treating chamber and a base structure supporting the shell as well as a liquid recirculation system mounted to the base structure and configured to recirculate liquid within the treating chamber.

Abstract: A dishwasher incorporates a dampened pump assembly including a housing having a base to which is mounted a pump and motor unit configured to develop a flow of washing fluid during operation of the dishwasher. A mass damper is mounted to the housing, with the mass damper substantially conforming to the shape, directly abutting and being rigidly fixed to a portion of the housing at a position offset from the pump and motor unit. The mass damper provides added weight, generally in the order of 1-6 lbs, to the pump assembly which reduces vibrations throughout the dishwasher caused by operation of the pump and motor unit.

Abstract: A tub for a dishwasher where the tub includes at least a first panel and a second panel to form a multi-piece tub. The tub may at least partially define a treating chamber for receiving dishes and the dishwasher may be configured to automatically execute a treating cycle within the treating chamber.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a dispenser assembly, having a top plate portion and a rear plate portion, mounted to a dishwasher liner through at least one mechanical fastener which projects through the liner, extends freely through the rear plate portion and is secured to the top plate portion. Disposed between the liner and the rear panel portion is a seal, either a flat seal or a radial seal. In addition, a trim member, which can be hinged to the top plate portion or formed as a separate component, is provided about a periphery of the top plate portion and seats upon the liner.
