drainage assembly
Explanation:
Though not a literal translation, using the term drainage assembly will fit all applications. A basic schematic describing the standard drainage assembly for almost all dishwashers can be found at the reference given. The passage is discussing design implications of housing the switching controls separately, thus allowing more space for the drainage assembly area. Other pages of the referenced article give further details in simple language.
