DISHWASHER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240032771 titled 'DISHWASHER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a dishwasher that operates on a cycle of operation. The dishwasher consists of a chassis with a base and an open-faced tub that forms a treating chamber. There is a closure that can be moved between an open and closed position to open and close the tub. The dishwasher also includes a controller to control the cycle of operation and a dispenser assembly. The dispenser assembly has an engagement assembly that communicates with the controller. The engagement assembly is connected to a dispensing device and one or more dispensing cartridges. It can adjust the position of the dispensing device and/or the cartridges to selectively dispense treating chemistry from the chosen cartridge.

• The dishwasher has a chassis with a base and an open-faced tub that forms a treating chamber.
