DISHWASHER
A dishwasher includes a wash container, in which a rack for holding items to be washed and/or dried is disposed. At least two lateral guide rails are disposed in the wash container for supporting the rack and allowing the rack to be pulled out of the wash container. Each guide rail includes a guide element disposed in a guide path of the guide rail in a longitudinally movable manner. Provided on the guide rail is a stop which limits a longitudinal movement of the guide element along the guide rail. The stop projects in a first position into the guide path, thereby inhibiting a pull-out movement of the rack. When acted upon in opposition to a pull-out direction, the stop is shiftable out of the guide path into a second position and, when acted upon in the pull-out direction of the rack, the stop is fixed in the guide path.

9 . The dishwasher of claim 1 , wherein the stop includes a run-in slope that can be brought into contact with the guide element.
10 . The dishwasher of claim 1 , wherein the stop is held in an elastically pretensioned manner in the first position.
11 . The dishwasher of claim 1 , further comprising a securing member, which secures the stop in the first position.
12 . The dishwasher of claim 11 , wherein the securing member prevents movement of the stop from the first position into the second position.
13 . The dishwasher of claim 11 , wherein the securing member includes at least one engagement member for engagement with a fastening segment of the guide rail by displacing the stop from a first movement position into a second movement position.
14 . The dishwasher of claim 1 , wherein the stop is displaced by moving it along an axis, which extends along the guide rail.
15 . A guide rail assembly for a dishwasher, comprising:
a guide rail disposed in a wash container of the dishwasher for support of a rack holding items to be washed and/or dried and allowing the rack to be pulled out of the wash container, said guide rail including a guide element disposed in a guide path of the guide rail in a longitudinally movable manner; and
at least one stop provided on the guide rail to limit a longitudinal movement of the guide element along the guide rail and projecting in a first position into the guide path of the guide rail, thereby inhibiting a pull-out movement of the rack, said stop, when acted upon in opposition to a pull-out direction out of the guide path, being shiftable into a second position and, when acted upon in the pull-out direction of the rack, is fixed in the guide path.
16 . The guide rail assembly of claim 15 , wherein the stop is supported on the guide rail for movement between the first position and the second position.
