Domestic dishwasher

1. A dishwasher, comprising: a detergent-solution pump; a discharge line that is connected to the detergent-solution pump on a pressure side thereof; a venting shaft in fluid communication with a reversing section of the discharge line; a first valve operationally disposed within the venting shaft; and a bypass line operationally connecting the detergent-solution pump and discharge line for venting the detergent-solution pump.

2. The dishwasher according to claim 1 wherein the bypass line is connected by a first end to the reversing section, at a point above a topmost liquid level, of the discharge line.

3. The dishwasher according to claim 2 wherein a cross-section of the discharge line is reduced in the reversing section compared with at least one section of the discharge line upstream of the reversing section.

4. The dishwasher according to claim 3 wherein the reduction in cross-section in the reversing section of the discharge line is produced by an inward projecting of the first end of the bypass line.

5. The dishwasher according to claim 1 wherein a second end of the bypass line leads into a top section of a housing of the detergent-solution pump.

6. The dishwasher according to claim 1 wherein a cross-section of the bypass line is larger at its first end than at its second end.

7. The dishwasher according to claim 1 wherein a sieve for filtering dirt particles in the washing liquid is provided at a second end of the bypass line.

8. The dishwasher according to claim 1 wherein the first valve is a float valve having a float member, with the float member being able to close an opening located in a transverse wall of the venting shaft and serving as a valve seat.

9. The dishwasher according to claim 1 further comprising a second valve.

10. The dishwasher according to claim 9 wherein the second valve is embodied as a clapper valve that is biased against a liquid's flow direction and has a bearing as a valve seat for a clapper-valve body.

11. The dishwasher according to claim 9 wherein the second valve is located in the discharge line in a liquid flow direction downstream of where the discharge line joins the venting shaft.

12. The dishwasher according to claim 9 wherein the second valve is located in a feeder line to the detergent-solution pump.

13. The dishwasher according to claim 9 wherein the second valve includes a valve in the bypass line and a valve in the discharge line in a liquid flow direction upstream of where the discharge line joins the venting shaft.

14. The dishwasher according to claim 9 , wherein the second valve is closed when the detergent-solution pump is not in operation to prevent rinsing water from flowing back into the washing compartment.

15. The dishwasher according to claim 1 wherein the reversing section of the discharge line, the venting shaft, an air-outlet nipple of the venting shaft, the first valve in the venting shaft, a second valve in the discharge line, and a section of the bypass line facing the first end are formed as a structural unit made largely of plastic.

16. The dishwasher according to claim 1 wherein the venting shaft is located on a washing compartment of the dishwasher.

17. The dishwasher according to claim 1 , wherein the dishwasher comprises a-domestic dishwasher.

18. The dishwasher according to claim 1 , wherein the detergent-solution pump pumps dirty washing liquid out of a washing compartment of the dishwasher.

19. The dishwasher according to claim 1 , wherein the venting shaft is located above a topmost liquid level of a washing compartment of the dishwasher.

20. The dishwasher according to claim 1 , wherein the first valve is closed when the detergent-solution pump is operating and open when the detergent-solution pump is not operating.
