Dishwasher Rack Adjustment Mechanism

Given Situation

A dishwasher's rack adjustment mechanism is not only a functionally important part of the dishwasher's design, it is also critical in conveying a quality look and feel for the overall product. The consumer may not be able to start up and listen to a dishwasher on the show room floor, but you can rest assured they are going to put the racks through their paces. Often the feel and function of the rack adjustment mechanism is the main criteria the customer bases his or her purchasing decision.

In this case, the client undertook an entirely new dishwasher design. Most of the domestic dishwashers on the market are the result of years or decades of refinements and improvements. Designing a dishwasher from scratch that significantly improves what the market has to offer is a daunting task.

Solution

Dries Engineering was asked to design a rack adjustment mechanism which would interface perfectly with the other structures and systems of the dishwasher and exceed the performance of other "high-end" adjustment mechanisms on the market.

After careful examination of the client's needs, work on the project began immediately. The research, design and engineering work was completed quickly and efficiently.

The result is a unique, patent pending, adjustment mechanism which has received rave reviews and is expected to be one of the machine's major selling points.
