Main Parts of Dishwashers Require Magnets

Dishwashers have become more and more common in recent years. They use mechanical force and hot water to clean bowls and plates.

Magnets play a key role in the various parts of dishwashers. The following are several main parts of dishwashers that require magnets and their roles.

1. Magnets are used in the door lock system of washing machines

The magnetic force between the magnets and metal parts in the door lock system can ensure that the door will not be accidentally opened when the dishwasher is running, thereby ensuring safety.

2. Magnets are used in water level sensors

The sensor detects the water level in the sink through magnetic force. When the water level reaches a certain height, the magnet triggers the sensor and sends a signal to the control system to stop filling or start the drain pump to ensure that the water level in the dishwasher remains within a safe range.

3. Magnets are also needed in the drain pump of the dishwasher

The magnets in the drain pump are used to drive the operation of the motor and pump.

4. Detergent dispenser

Magnets are used in detergent dispensers to control the release of detergent and rinse agent. There is a magnetic control switch in the dispenser. When the dishwasher reaches a certain stage, the control system activates the magnetic control switch to release the appropriate amount of detergent or rinse agent to ensure the cleaning effect.

5. Rotating spray arm

Some high-end dishwashers use magnets in the rotating spray arm to optimize the direction of water flow and spray force. Magnets can help the spray arm rotate more stably, improve water flow coverage and cleaning effect.

The magnets used in these components are usually permanent magnets, such as neodymium iron boron or ferrite magnets, and their applications are mainly concentrated in motor drives, sensor systems and control mechanisms.
