Abstract (en)
A powder dispenser (2) for a washing machine comprises a pre-wash compartment (6) and a wash compartment (8) each provided with a door (10 or 12) which is opened when the powder in the compartment is required. Opening of both doors (10 and 12) is achieved by operating a single solenoid (63), a selector mechanism (66) being provided to determine which door is to be opened. In a preferred embodiment, the selector mechanism (66) is moved to a first position, in which the solenoid (63) is operable to open the pre-wash compartment door (10), in response to the closing of this door (10). On the opening of this door (10), the selector mechanism (66) is caused to move to a second position in which the solenoid (63) is operable to open the wash compartment door (12).
