主权项

1. A dishwasher for treating dishes according to at least one automatic cycle of operation and configured to sit on a support surface, comprising:
a chassis having a portion sitting on the support surface; a tub supported by the chassis and at least partially defining a treating chamber for receiving the dishes for treatment; a sprayer proximate to the tub to spray liquid into the treating chamber; a circulation circuit defining a fluid flow path from the treating chamber to the sprayer through which the sprayed liquid may return from the treating chamber back to the sprayer; a rotating filter having opposing first and second surfaces, the rotating filter being positioned within the circulation circuit to filter soils from liquid flowing through the fluid flow path as the liquid passes through the rotating filter between the first and second surfaces; and at least one flow diverter spaced apart from the first surface to define a gap through which at least some of the liquid passes as the liquid flows through the flow path; wherein the rotating filter has a first portion nearest the tub and a second portion nearest the support surface, and the at least one flow diverter is not located at one of a first space between the first portion and the tub or a second space between the second portion and the support surface.
