Abstract (en)

The regulator device makes a dynamic regulation of the water, operating when the spray and the dishwasher impeller pump are running, and it comprises a float (3) inside a flotation chamber (4) connected to the dishwasher tub, a lever (8) which pivots on an end shaft (8a), an electric microswitch (6) which is operated by said lever (8) when the float (3) rises, a mechanism (9, 10) which pushes said lever (8) to snap switch two stable positions of said lever (8) in relation to the microswitch (6), and a support plate (12) for the regulator device (1). The rod (3a) of the float does not affect the lever (8) in a prior run between two water levels (2, 2b). <IMAGE>
