Description

• A dishwasher pumps water into an insulated box. After it is full of water (probably about 4 gallons), it pumps that water around for about 45 minutes. It has electronics and a heater. I don't think dishwashers use a motor. They usually just pump the water around at high pressure, which makes the arms inside spin. I guess that's technically a motor.
• Has a cycle of operation, including the initial water fill (12 watts), washing (200 watts), and heating and washing (900 watts).
