System for determining an operating state of a dishwasher and an according method

A method of determining an operating state of a dishwasher comprising:

• measuring, by a current sensor connected to each of a power supply line of the dishwasher and a processor, an electrical current consumed by the dishwasher;
• sending, by the current sensor and to the processor, a first signal representative of current information indicative of the electrical current measured by the current sensor and consumed by the dishwasher;
• receiving, at the processor, the first signal;
• comparing, at the processor, the electrical current consumed by the dishwasher to a current reference value, the current reference value being indicative of an average current value for the dishwasher when an average volume of water is consumed by the dishwasher during an operating step of the dishwasher;
• receiving, at the processor, a second signal representative of a second parameter of the dishwasher, the second parameter being different from the current information;
• determining, by the processor, an operating state of the dishwasher during the operating step based on both the comparison of the received current information to the current reference value and the received second signal according to a logic matrix stored in a memory module of the processor;
• and
• logging, by the processor, the operating state of the dishwasher for user analysis.
