AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a dish waster that solves one or more of the foregoing problems. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a dish washer which can dehumidify humid air formed after drying dishes and discharge dehumidified water effectively for reducing an amount of water condensed in the tub.

Problems solved by technology

However, when the user opens a door on the dish washer, the high temperature, humid air can cause inconvenience to the user if the air rushes out at one time.

However, the partial discharge of the high temperature, humid air to an outside of the dish washer or re-circulation of the high temperature, humid air to the tub causes condensing of vapor to form water drops in the vicinity of a portion through which the air is being discharged to the outside of the dish washer, or an inside of the tub, respectively.

If the water drops are discharged to the outside of the dish washer, or the water drops formed in the tub fall down on the dishes, the user can be inconvenienced.
