Abstract: A dishwasher, in particular a household dishwasher, includes a dishwasher cavity, a spray apparatus for dispensing washing liquor, and a drive facility including an electric motor designed to actively drive the spray apparatus so as to apply washing liquor to an item to be washed arranged in the dishwasher cavity. The drive facility includes a detection unit for detecting a motor rotational speed of the electric motor. A control apparatus determines a blockage of the spray apparatus in dependence upon the detected motor rotational speed.

Abstract: A water-conducting household appliance includes a channel section heatable from outside and configured for passage of fluid in a flow direction. A plurality of electrically interconnected heat conductor elements are provided for executing a heating action. The heat conductor elements are configured to at least partly surround the channel section on the outside, with at least one of the heat conductor elements generating during operation a surface output that varies over its course, resulting in different surface temperatures at a thermal transition into the channel section over its course, wherein the heat conductor elements are arranged such that the surface outputs of the heat conductor elements that follow one another over a circumference of the channel section differ across the flow direction.

Abstract: A water-using household appliance includes an electrically controllable actuator, a first voltage source designed to provide a switch-on power amount to the actuator, a second voltage source designed to provide a holding power amount to the actuator, and a control unit designed to electrically connect the first voltage source to the actuator in order to switch on the actuator and, after a switch-on interval, to electrically disconnect the first voltage source from the actuator and to electrically connect the second voltage source to the actuator.

Abstract: A dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, includes a dishwasher cavity for receiving an item to be washed. A door or flap is configured to close the dishwasher cavity and movable between an open and a closed position. Associated to the door or flap is a two-stage or multi-stage safety catch for transition between an open and a closed state of the door or flap. A device is provided to capture whether the door or flap is closed or open and to detect a traversal of the two-stage or multi-stage safety catch.

Abstract: A structural unit, in particular a heating pump for a water-conducting domestic appliance, in particular a domestic dishwasher, includes a heatable tube section through which a liquid can flow during operation and in which one or more mechanical structures are arranged that produce locally different flow speeds of the liquid. A first temperature measuring device is arranged on an outer side of the tube section radially outside a region of lower flow rate or less incident flow, and a second temperature measuring device is arranged on the outer side of the tube section radially outside a region of higher flow rate or more incident flow.

Abstract: A liquid heating pump includes an impeller chamber having an impeller, which can be rotatably driven, and a diffusor chamber and/or pressure chamber arranged axially downstream in the flow direction and having a stationary diffusor. A heating device is associated with the diffusor and/or pressure chamber. The diffusor has a main body, in particular in the shape of a circular cylinder. The main body has a front wall on which a guide blade portion is arranged which axially protrudes in a direction of the impeller into a liquid ejection region of the impeller arranged around an outer periphery of the impeller and which extends away from the liquid ejection region outwardly toward an axial outer casing of the main body, which axial outer casing is arranged radially further outwardly than the liquid ejection region of the impeller.

Abstract: A household appliance includes a channel section which can be heated from outside and can be configured for passage of a fluid, and a plurality of electrically interconnected heating conductor elements for heating purposes, with at least some of the heating conductor elements being electrically connected together in parallel and including a component arranged in a flow direction of the fluid.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a wash container for cleaning dishes, glasses, flatware or similar items to be washed during a program sequence which includes a drying phase or another process phase. The wash container has an inlet opening for inflow of a volume flow of air. The volume flow of air entering the wash container through the inlet opening varies a number of times over the drying phase or the other process phase.

A heating device is associated with the diffuser and/or pressure chamber. The diffuser has a main body, in particular in the shape of a circular cylinder, having an axial outer casing, the diameter of which is selected to be at least equal to 80%, in particular between 80% and 90%, preferably approximately equal to 86%, of the external diameter of the diffuser and/or pressure chamber.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a dishwasher cavity having a base, a sump below the dishwasher cavity base, a collecting channel that catches liquid leaking over an upper edge of the sump, and a drainage element that drains liquid collected in the collecting channel past an electrical component that is in a region of the sump.

Abstract: A water-conducting household device, particularly a dishwasher, includes a pump having at least one normal operating mode in which fluid is pumped in a pumping direction, and a venting operating mode which can be carried out before the normal operating mode. The venting operating mode is provided to allow venting of the pump by pumping a gas bubble in opposition to the pumping direction during the normal operating mode at least partially out of a pump chamber of the pump to a fluid pump inlet of the pump.
