Dishwashers and methods of control for operation of dishwashers are disclosed. The dishwasher may include an upper rack (160) in an upper portion of a washing compartment (150) configured to receive small dishes, such as a cup having a small washing load, and a lower rack (170) in a lower portion of the washing compartment (150) for placing large dishes, such as a dinner bowl having a large washing load. The operation of the dishwasher can include wash and rinse cycles having a plurality of sub-cycles. During the sub-cycles, the upper and lower racks (160,170) can be selectively sprayed with water and steam can be supplied to the washing compartment (150) based on configured conditions, such as a water temperature or operation time being reached. The operation of the dishwasher can reduce excessive washing of dishes having small washing loads and reduce power consumption of the dishwasher. |
