Abstract (en)

A dishwasher includes a control unit and a plurality of sensors housed in a body (C) arranged on the door of the dishwasher, said body (C) being provided with a top opening (F) and a mobile wall (M), elastically biased against the body (C), whose opening and closing movement is controlled by the control unit through an actuator (E) which acts on the mobile wall (M) through a pusher (P). In this way when it is required that the sensors carry out a reading it is sufficient that the pusher (P) be retracted by the electro actuator (E) thus allowing the mobile wall (M) to abut on three sides of the body (C), whereby the water drops and the squirts rebounding from above in a little time will fill with washing liquid (W) the space that has been formed between the wall (M) and the body (C). After the set time has elapsed, the electro actuator (E) releases the pusher (P) and the wall (M) is pushed back to the vertical position, thus allowing the discharge of the washing liquid (W) and facilitating the washing of the sensors. <IMAGE>
