Abstract: A dishwasher includes a pump facility to selectively supply washing liquor to first and second spray apparatuses, an intensive spray apparatus assigned to the first or second spray apparatus and brought into an activated or deactivated state by a switch valve, and a control apparatus for carrying out a washing program and for detecting a first pump flow while the first spray apparatus is supplied with washing liquor and detecting a second pump flow while the second spray apparatus is supplied with washing liquor, so as to form a current differential value as a function of the first and second pump flows and to ascertain a current switch state of the intensive spray apparatus as a function of the current differential value, a number of stored earlier differential values and a predetermined class differential value. The control apparatus adapts the washing program as a function of the current switch state.

Abstract: A household dishwasher includes a washing container receiving a dishwasher load, a pump pot, and a spray arm for applying washing liquor and/or fresh water to the dishwasher load in the washing container. The spray arm is actively driven by a drive system and mounted on the pump pot for rotation about an axis of rotation. The spray arm has a rib geometry that revolves around the axis of rotation and includes an encoding groove running along the axis of rotation. The pump pot includes an encoding rib running along the axis of rotation and corresponding to the encoding groove. The encoding rib is configured for passage through the encoding groove along the axis of rotation during assembly and disassembly of the spray arm so as to enable the spray arm to be assembled on and disassembled from the pump pot in precisely one angular position.

Abstract: A household dishwasher includes a washing container receiving a dishwasher load, a spray arm for applying washing liquor and/or fresh water to the dishwasher load, a drive system for actively driving the spray arm, and an overload protection mechanism configured to move autonomously from a coupling position, in which power is transmitted between the drive system and the spray arm, into a decoupling position, in which the power transmission between the drive system and the spray arm is interrupted, when the spray arm becomes blocked.

Abstract: A dish-receiving unit for a household dishwasher includes a lattice-like base, an intensive washing zone, and a manually operable on/off valve configured to switch the intensive washing zone optionally from a deactivated state to an activated state and vice versa, said on/off valve being operable through the base.

Abstract: A water-conducting household appliance includes a moving component, an electric motor for moving the component, a load apparatus configured to apply a resistance to counter movement of the component as a function of a position of the moving component, and a control apparatus for actuating the electric motor. The control apparatus is configured to detect a drive current drawn which is drawn by the electric motor and is a function of the resistance applied by the load apparatus and to ascertain the position of the moving component as a function of the detected drive current.

Abstract: A household dishwasher includes a washing compartment and a spray device arranged inside the washing compartment and configured to spray washing liquor and/or clean water within the washing container. The spray device includes a cage and a rotary element which is mounted in the cage for rotation about an axis of rotation. The rotary element includes a bearing surface which is radially distanced from the axis of rotation and extending around the axis of rotation for enabling the rotary element to be mounted rotatably in the cage.

Abstract: A household dishwasher includes a washing container holding a dishwasher load, and a container holding an operating material and arranged outside the washing container and accessible via an opening in an interior of the washing container when a door of the household dishwasher is open. A spray arm applies washing liquor to the dishwasher load and is actively driven by a drive entity. A detection entity is operably connected to a drive element of the drive entity for detecting an angular position of the drive element. A control device determines an angular position of the spray arm as a function of the detected angular position of the drive element and, as a function of the determined angular position of the spray arm, activates the drive entity to stop the spray arm within a predefined angular range that is outside an angular range defined by an access region of the opening.
