Abstract: An automatic dishwasher configured to implement an automatic treating cycle of operation. The automatic dishwasher having a tub and a dish rack located within the dish treating chamber. The dish rack comprising a bottom wall having a first portion defined by a substantially planar portion extending across a first portion of bottom wall and second portion defined by a depression portion extending across a second portion of bottom wall.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a tub with an access opening to a treating chamber, a sump, at least one sprayer emitting liquid into the treating chamber, a pump, a conduit fluidly coupling the sump to the pump and the pump to the at least one sprayer, thereby defining a recirculation circuit through which the liquid sprayed into the treating chamber collects in the sump and is pumped back to the at least one sprayer. The dishwasher also includes a filter assembly in the sump for filtering the liquid in the recirculation circuit including a cleaning element and a dome shaped displacement body positioned adjacent the filter wall for raising a liquid level within the filter and configured to fill more than 50% of a percentage of a volume of the filter.
