Our Automatic Door Opener (ADO) is a wax motor–driven actuator designed for dishwasher auto open drying systems.
It enables controlled door release at the end of the wash cycle to improve drying performance, reduce energy consumption, and enhance user safety.

Efficient Drying · Reliable Actuation · Designed for Modern Dishwashers
At the end of the washing cycle, the thermoactuator inside the ADO is energized.
The internal wax expands, pushing the plunger forward.
This movement actuates the latch and releases the dishwasher door.
The door opens slightly (typically 7–10 cm), allowing moist air to escape while fresh ambient air enters.
This process significantly improves drying efficiency without additional energy input.
