Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005060816A1] According to the invention, a dishwasher with a system for filling level recognition may be achieved at low production cost which reliably determines the fluid level inside the dishwasher without the use of moving parts, whereby said dishwasher is provided with at least one capacitive filling level sensor for recognition of the fluid level (9) of the rinsing fluid contained in the dishwasher, the electrical capacitance of which changes on contact with the fluid. The fluid level in the dishwasher can thus be reliably and reproducibly determined without the need for moving parts and merely by the use of electronic components.
