Abstract
A variable position diverter that provides wash fluid to selected combinations of outlet ports and spray assemblies. The diverter includes a housing having four fluid outlet ports, two of which are elongated, and a valve disk having a single elongated aperture. The valve disk is rotated relative to the housing to align the elongated aperture with one or more of the four fluid outlet ports to selectively control the flow of wash fluid through corresponding spray assemblies. The elongated aperture of the valve disk may at least partially open two adjacent outlet ports at a selected angular position. Selectively diverting wash fluid in this manner can improve wash performance and reduce cycle time while meeting government regulations regarding water usage.
