A dishwasher, in particular a household dishwasher, includes a control facility for performing a wash cycle to clean items to be washed based on a plurality of selectable wash programs. The control facility operates, in particular controls or regulates, a drain pump for pumping off wash fluid from the dishwasher. At least one of the wash programs includes an automatic execution of a pump-off sequence having at least three successively executed pump-off phases to define first, second and third pump-off phases, during each of which the drain pump is activated, with a break being provided between the first and second pump-off phases and a break being provided between the second and third pump-off phases, wherein the drain pump is deactivated during each of the breaks. |

1. A dishwasher, comprising:
a control facility programmed to control a wash cycle to clean items to be washed based on a plurality of selectable wash programs; and a drain pump operably connected to the control facility for pumping off wash fluid from the dishwasher, wherein the control facility is programmed to automatically execute, in at least one of the wash programs, a pump-off sequence configured to reduce a residual quantity of wash fluid remaining in the dishwasher at a completion of the pumping off the wash fluid from the dishwasher, the pump-off sequence having at least three successively executed pump-off phases during each of which the control facility is programmed to activate the drain pump, with a break being provided between each of the at least three successively executed pump-off phases, wherein the control facility is programmed to deactivate the drain pump during each of the breaks, wherein the pump-off sequence includes:
a first pump-off phase wherein the control facility is programmed to continuously operate the drain pump to remove substantially all of the wash fluid from the dishwasher;a first break, following the first pump-off phase, wherein the control facility is programmed to continuously deactivate the drain pump;a second pump-off phase, following the first break, wherein the control facility is programmed to continuously operate the drain pump to pump off a first partial quantity of the residual quantity of wash fluid remaining in the dishwasher at the completion of the first pump-off phase;a second break, following the second pump-off phase, wherein the control facility is programmed to continuously deactivate the drain pump; anda third pump-off phase, following the second break, wherein the control facility is programmed to continuously operate the drain pump to pump off a second partial quantity of the residual quantity of wash fluid remaining in the dishwasher at the completion of the second pump-off phase, wherein the wash cycle comprises a plurality of sub-cycles and wherein the control facility is programmed to selectively execute the pump-off sequence only at ends of selective sub-cycles of the plurality of sub-cycles such that the pump-off sequence is not executed in all of the plurality of sub-cycles. |
