Definitions
- the present invention relates to a household appliance with a pumping system.
- washing liquor is often stored in order to be used for the washing process at a certain time.
- household appliances usually contain liquor storage in which wash liquor can be stored.
- the stored wash liquor can be supplied to the washroom for the washing process by means of lines.
- wet surfaces form, which are covered after a certain time with biofilms.
- the biofilms are increasingly forming in places in household appliances, where appropriate living conditions for microorganisms are present and where a diverse entry of germs is possible.
- the microorganisms can be introduced into the liquor storage by the water supplied to the household appliances.
- the water can also be subsequently contaminated by microorganisms from the air or from other components of the household appliance.

- a high flow rate ensures that the wash liquor reaches a large part of the inner surface of the pumped circulation system.
- the wash liquor may optionally be generated only for the cycle of cleaning the household appliance.
- the detergent is added by the user in the dispenser and mixed at the start of the cleaning cycle with water and rinsed the mixture into the tub 107.
- the wash liquor may optionally be better mixed by rotating the washing drum.
- the wash liquor can be heated to enhance the cleaning effect. Since some of the components of the wash liquor begin to act only from certain temperatures, such as 40 ° C, an elevated temperature may assist the detachment of the biofilm from the inner surface.
- a wash liquor already prepared in a previous wash cycle of the household appliance 100 can be used for the cycle of cleaning the household appliance 100.
- the wash liquor can be pumped around, so that effective cleaning of the pumped circulation system can be achieved with the active surfactants and other detergent components still present in the wash liquor.

- this cleaning cycle may be performed at certain intervals after selected wash cycles, or this cleaning cycle may be specifically selected by the user of the home appliance 100.
- the pumping system can also be switched off in order to allow the substances present in the wash liquor to act in a stationary manner in the tub 107.
- the system for recirculating wash liquor for equipment cleaning can be combined with a detergent dosing system. This can be done for example by a detergent sensor. By means of the detergent sensor, it can be determined exactly how much detergent is still available in the wash liquor for cleaning the appliance after the washing process. If too little detergent is available in the wash liquor, can be automatically replenished if necessary, so that an optimal sequence of equipment cleaning program is guaranteed.
- the pumping system according to the invention can be used in addition to the use in washing machines as well for washer-dryers and dishwashers.

- a first line 105 connects the tub 107 with the liquor storage 109 and includes a first pump 1 13, which is integrated into the first line 105.
- the pump 1 13 pumps washing liquor from the tub 107 to the liquor storage 109.
- a second conduit 1 1 1 connects the liquor storage 109 with the tub 107.
- the filter unit may comprise a sieve or a filter. As a result, coarser, or with the use of a filter even smaller dirt particles, can be removed from the wash liquor during pumping. Parts of the biofilm can also be removed by the filter unit. This can further support the effectiveness of equipment cleaning. By using a filter unit to separate dirt less detergent components are consumed because the detergent components do not attach to the dirt separated by the filter.
