US 2026/0232166 A1 · DISHWASHER AUTOMATIC DESCALING SYSTEM

Abstract

Using the systems and methods disclosed herein, components of a dishwasher are automatically descaled. Automatic descaling logic causes a descaling agent to be injected into the dishwasher. When the automatic descaling process is begun, a descaling agent is pumped into a water tank of the dishwasher. Water is added to the descaling agent and the temperature of the water/descaling agent mixture is increased by a heater to a predetermined temperature. After the predetermined temperature is reached, the mixture is maintained in the water tank for a predetermined period of time, allowing the descaler to work on the surfaces of the water tank. After the predetermined period of time has elapsed, the mixture is moved from the water tank to a wash tank. A wash cycle is initiated, causing the mixture to be applied to the surfaces of the wash tank.
