Dishwashers are one of the most improved appliances for the kitchen over the last few years. Upgrades include more thorough cleaning/washing cycles while still lowering water usage and energy consumption.

Like many modern appliances, dishwasher microprocessor based controllers allow the use of a variety of sensors to ensure precision cleaning, safe, and energy-efficient operation. Littelfuse’s magnetic sensor products help make these appliances as reliable and efficient as ever.

Reed sensors and Hall Effect sensors are both very reliable and will operate over millions of cycles with long term integrity when used with microprocessor electrical loads.

Both reed and Hall Effect devices are operated by a magnetic field. Reed switches and sensors consume no power, while Hall Effect devices are semiconductors and will consume a small amount of current in both the activated and de-activated state.
