发明名称 DISHWASHER WITH WASH LOAD DETECTION
摘要 A method of operating a dishwasher having a tub at least partially defining a treating chamber for receiving utensils and a spraying system spraying liquid in the treating chamber, to determine at least one parameter of the cycle of operation based on the set of load condition by selectively spraying liquid in multiple portions of the treating chamber.

主权项 1. A method of operating a dishwasher having a tub at least partially defining a treating chamber for receiving utensils to form a wash load, a spraying system having at least one rotatable spray arm, a liquid supply system supplying liquid to the spraying system, and a drive mechanism for rotating at least one rotatable spray arm controlled according to a cycle of operation, the method comprising: operating the drive mechanism to incrementally rotate the rotatable spray arm through multiple portions of the treating chamber about an axis of rotation and independently of the supply of liquid to the at least one rotatable spray arm; selectively spraying liquid in the multiple portions of the treating chamber during the incremental rotation; receiving a load input for at least some of the multiple portions from at least one sensor in response to the selectively spraying; determining a load condition for at least those multiple portions having a load input to define a set of load conditions for the wash load; and setting at least one parameter of the cycle of operation based on the set of load conditions.
