A washing agent dispenser for washing machines comprises a fixed dispenser part (200) and a removable dispenser part (100). The removable dispenser part (100) comprises a hollow body (101) defining a tank for a washing agent. The tank has, in a lower part thereof, an outlet (112), in a back wall of the hollow body (101), which is couplable in a separable way to an inlet (210) at the front of the fixed dispenser part (200). A retention valve (230.sub.1) is mounted on the hollow body (101), in a position corresponding to the outlet (112) of at the tank. The retention valve (230.sub.1) is configured to assume a respective open position following upon coupling between the outlet (112) and the inlet (210), and to assume a respective closed position following upon uncoupling between the outlet (112) and the inlet (210).

The present disclosure relates to a dishwasher and a method of controlling the same. The dishwasher may determine an amount of foam in a wash space using a turbidity sensor measuring a turbidity value of wash water. Additionally, the dishwasher may perform a foam removal operation based on the amount of the foam in the wash space. In this case, the turbidity value measured by the turbidity sensor may be used. The foam removal operation may include a drainage operation, a water supply operation, and a wash operation that are consecutively performed, and may be performed in one or more of a pre-wash course, a main wash course, and a heating and rinsing course.
