Assembly (1) for dispensing washing agents in the washing chamber (C) of a washing machine, including an integrated dispensing device for washing agents (2), comprising a body (2a) which is intended to be mounted through an opening of a sheet-like wall (F) which delimits the washing chamber (C).

The assembly (1) further comprises a reservoir (3) for liquid detergent which may be removably coupled to the body (2a) of the device for dispensing washing agents (2), and which may be positioned on the side of the device for dispensing washing agents (2) intended to face the washing chamber (C). The reservoir has a holding chamber (3d) for liquid detergent able to communicate with the outside of the reservoir (3) through at least one outlet opening (12b) for dispensing liquid detergent and an actuator assembly (21, 22, 23, 24) to control the dispensing of liquid detergent from the reservoir (3).

A dishwasher with for treating dishes according to a cycle of operation. The dishwasher has a chassis comprising a base on which is supported a open-faced tub, which at least partially defines a treating chamber; a closure selectively moveable between and an open position and a closed position to selectively open and close the open-faced tub, a controller for selectively controlling the cycle of operation of the dishwasher, and a dispenser assembly comprising an engagement assembly in communication with the controller; the engagement assembly operably coupled with at least one of a dispensing device and one or more dispensing cartridges to adjust the position of one of the dispensing device and/or the dispensing cartridges to selectively dispense treating chemistry from the selected dispensing cartridge.

A partitioned solution cartridge for automatic distribution of dishwashing chemicals includes a protective top film and a compartmentalized body including a plurality of contained solution sectors each including a fluid reservoir and a distribution chamber. The fluid reservoir is partially enclosed by a reservoir sidewall and the protective top film. The distribution chamber is partially enclosed by a chamber sidewall and the protective top film. The fluid reservoir and the distribution chamber are fluidly connected.

A fluid product dispenser is sized to removably receive a product package containing a supply of the fluid product. The product package includes an internally integrated fluid pump, and the dispenser includes a drive unit powered by flow of a fluid. Flow of the fluid powers the drive unit, which in turn drives the pump internal to the product package, resulting in dispensation of the fluid product in a product/fluid ratio that is independent of the fluid flow rate.

A diverter valve for an appliance having water containing filamentous materials such as hair or string provides a low turbulence conduit (48) interconnecting an inlet (18) and multiple outlets (22a) reducing dead space and opportunities for filamentous materials to catch or collect. The conduit may be contained in a rotating spool (40) within a watertight housing (34) allowing simplified gasketing augmented by an ability to turn on and off waterflow separately, for example, with the valve or pump.
