Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for detecting rotation of a dishwasher spray arm and a dishwasher adapted to perform such a method.
  • the proper rotation of the spray arm thus can be reliably determined, basically by counting the peaks of the signal received from the vibration sensor and comparing the peak count with an expected value which is a design parameter for the specific dishwasher. While there may be situations wherein a signal peak is generated which is not directly associated to a rotation of the spray arm but which may be caused for example by an incidental impact of water jets that are reflected from articles within the dishwasher tub onto which a jet of cleaning liquid is sprayed, the predetermined target range for the count value should include some tolerance range which in the example referred to above wherein the spray arm rotates at a speed of 38 rpm may be selected as ⁇ 6 peak counts when measuring for a time period of one minute.
  • the target range for the count value could be selected for example as the standard rotational speed ⁇ 2 rpm, wherein it is determined that the spray arm correctly rotates if the count value falls within such target range.
  • the measuring cycle is repeated or a further more detailed evaluation routine is conducted. While a similar safety range could be provided at the lower end of the target range it of course is also possible to provide such a safety range in which the evaluation is repeated or altered only at one end of the target range.
