主权项 1. A dishwasher comprising: a chassis defining an interior with an open face; a first fluid coupling located within the interior; a drawer slidably mounted to the chassis for slidable movement through the open face and at least partially defining a treating chamber with a second fluid coupling; and a fluid conduit extending between the first fluid coupling and the second fluid coupling, comprising: a telescoping fluid line having multiple, telescopically connected segments, with a first segment fluidly coupled to the first fluid coupling and a second segment fluidly connected to the second fluid coupling; anda bellows comprising multiple pleats and extending between the first fluid coupling and the second fluid coupling, encompassing the telescoping fluid line, and configured to direct liquid escaping from the telescoping fluid line into a space between the telescoping fluid line and the bellows and the bellows is configured such that the escaped liquid is drainable through the first fluid coupling and the second fluid coupling; and wherein as the drawer is slid from a wash position, where the treating chamber is located within the interior, to a loading position, where at least a portion of the treating chamber is exterior of the chassis, the fluid conduit moves from a contracted position to an extended position to extend the segments relative to each other and expand the pleats of the bellows.
