17. A dishwashing machine, comprising:
-
a washing chamber, a number of dish racks positioned in the washing chamber, a pump operable to circulate fluid onto the number of dish racks, a user interface operable to receive user input and generate an electrical output signal indicative thereof, and an electronic controller electrically coupled to the pump and the user interface, the controller comprising (i) a processor, and (ii) a memory device electrically coupled to the processor, the memory device having stored therein a plurality of instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; (a) operate the pump in accordance with a selected dishwashing cycle, (b) determine user satisfaction with the selected dishwashing cycle based on the electrical output signal generated by the user interface, (c) adjust at least one operational parameter of the selected dishwashing cycle based on the user satisfaction, and (d) incorporate the adjusted operational parameter into a subsequent dishwashing cycle. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
