Abstract
A diverter valve assembly, a dishwasher, and a household appliance are disclosed. The diverter valve assembly has a housing and a diverter valve. A water diversion chamber is formed in the housing. The housing is provided with a water inlet, a water return port, a first water outlet, and a second water outlet. The diverter valve partitions the water diversion chamber into a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber is communicated with the water inlet. The diverter valve is rotatable in the water diversion chamber to selectively communicate the first chamber with the water inlet and the first water outlet and communicate the second chamber with the second water outlet and the water return port, or block the water inlet from the first water outlet and communicate the first chamber with the water inlet and the second water outlet.
