> 5. A device that lets you know whether the dishes in the dishwasher are dirty or clean.

The door latch tells you that. If the door is latched, the dishes are clean. If the door is unlatched, the dishes are dirty.

This works if everyone who opens the door when it is latched either empties the dishwasher (and leaves it unlatched) or relatches it AND no one latches the door after putting in a dirty dish unless they also start it.



Newer dishwashers have a "Clean" indicator light that stays on after the cycle finishes, and you can toggle on and off.
