Abstract: A dishwasher includes a cabinet defining a washing chamber, a door for closing an opening of the washing chamber and a fan for exhausting moist air from the washing chamber. The fan is arranged between an outer wall and an inner wall of the door, in fluid communication with the washing chamber via at least one vent hole formed in the inner wall, and includes a housing with an inlet and an outlet, an impeller in the housing and an electric motor for driving the impeller. The fan is arranged such that an axial direction of the motor is perpendicular to the inner wall. A flange is formed at an edge of the inlet to restrict water from entering the housing.
