How does the dishwasher work?

In: Science, Dishwashers [Edit categories]

Answer:

Basically, a dishwasher is a robot that cleans and rinses dirty dishes. Humans have to load the dishes, add detergent, set the proper washing cycles and turn it on, but the dishwasher accomplishes a whole series of functions by itself. A dishwasher:

Adds water
Heats the water to the appropriate temperature
Automatically opens the detergent dispenser at the right time
Shoots the water through jets to get the dishes clean
Drains the dirty water
Sprays more water on the dishes to rinse them
Drains itself again
Heats the air to dry the dishes off, if the user has selected that setting
