A dishwasher detergent dispenser includes a viscous damper allowing a dispenser door to be preloaded with a sufficiently strong spring to overcome resistance caused by detergent encrustation and the like while significantly reducing noise caused by the door opening.

An additive dispenser of a washing appliance is provided herein. The additive dispenser may include a water inlet and a drawer frame. The water inlet may be positioned upstream from a wash chamber. The drawer frame may define a compartment to receive an additive pod. The compartment may be positioned in downstream fluid communication with the water inlet. The drawer frame may include a sidewall at least partially enclosing the compartment.

A dishwasher detergent dispenser having a set of restraints configured to retain a detergent tablet in a cavity of the detergent dispenser, and a water outlet configured to release water to a top section of the detergent dispenser.

A method of cleaning soiled ware in a dishwasher the method having the step of using a water-soluble pouch, the pouch comprising a phosphate-free cleaning composition wherein the cleaning composition comprises loose powder and the composition comprises bleach, metal bleach catalyst and a complexing agent and wherein the complexing agent is slowly released as compared to the bleach catalyst.

A dispensing apparatus for an appliance includes a housing. The housing defines a loading chamber. A corkscrew coil is rotatably mounted in the loading chamber, and a motor is coupled to the corkscrew coil. Additionally, a chute defines an opening at an end of the corkscrew coil.

The detergent dispensing device includes a base and an extrusion assembly. The extrusion assembly is joined to the base, and includes a seat member having a first tube and a second tube extending upward and forward, respectively. A volume control member is configured inside the first tube and a resilient engagement member is reciprocally moveable along the second tube. The extrusion assembly also includes a connection member connecting the first tube. A detergent bottle is fit on the connection member and the detergent flows into the first tube through the connection member. When the engagement member is engaged, a first ball of the volume control member allows the detergent to flow out of the first tube. As the engagement member is restored resiliently, the first ball blocks the first tube, thereby providing a fixed amount of detergent.

A dispenser includes a dock configured to be fixed in place at a use device and a solid product holder configured to be removably secured to the dock. The dock has a first portion including a fixation element that is configured to fix the dock in place at the use device and a second portion including a receiving structure. The solid product holder includes a retaining structure, a base, and a support structure. The retaining structure is configured to removably secure the solid product holder to the receiving structure at the second portion of the dock. The base defines a plurality of apertures that form an open area at which the liquid is received at the solid product holder. The support structure extends from the base and defines an internal volume for holding the solid product at the solid product holder.

A dishwasher including a tub; a door configured to open and close the tub, the door including an outer frame forming an outer surface of the door, and an inner frame coupled to the outer frame and forming an inner surface of the door, with an inner space between the outer frame and the inner frame; and an automatic detergent dispenser coupled to the inner frame and configured to dispense a solid detergent while the tub is closed by the door, the automatic detergent dispenser including a storage compartment in which a plurality of solid detergents are stackable so as to be loaded along one direction, and a discharge duct including a discharge hole formed to communicate with an inner space, the discharge duct configured to discharge air, which flows from the tub into the automatic detergent dispenser, to the inner space through the discharge hole.

A dishwasher including a tub; a door that is movable to a first position in which the door is vertical and closes the tub, and a second position in which the door is not vertical and opens the tub; and an automatic detergent dispenser on the door, and including a storage compartment in which a plurality of solid detergents are stackable to be in a stack longitudinally extending along a stacking direction that is vertical when the door is in the first position and is not vertical when the door is in the second position, and a holder that presses the stack from a top of the stack toward a bottom of the stack. Movement of the holder is restricted to block upward movement along the stacking direction of one solid detergent located at a highest position in the stack while the door is in the second position.

A dishwasher including a tub; a door to open and close the tub; and an automatic detergent dispenser disposed on the door and including a storage compartment in which solid detergents are stackable along one direction, and a transporting member at one side of the storage compartment to move a solid detergent outside of the storage compartment, the transporting member including a hub portion configured to be rotatable in a first rotational direction around a rotating axis, and a body portion extending in a radial direction from a portion of an outer rim of the hub portion, and configured to rotate together with the hub portion, wherein the body portion is configured to, when rotated in the first rotational direction, press one solid detergent outside of the storage compartment, and guide a movement of at least one remaining solid detergent inside the storage compartment along the one direction.
