A top loading laundry washing machine is described, comprising a door (2) being movable between a substantially vertical position, for loading the machine (figs 1 and 3), and a substantially horizontal position, for operation (figs 2 and 4), the lower part of the door (2) being provided with a washing agents dispensing device. Said dispensing device (12) comprises a compartment (13) for receiving a washing agent (detergent or additive) in powder and/or liquid form, that has an opening for the loading of said washing agent and at least one opening for the automatically commanded discharge of said washing agent, said loading aperture and said discharge aperture in particular coinciding, and occlusion means of said discharge aperture, in particular a mobile flap (14), the opening of which, by way of an appropriate actuating organ, is commanded by the programming device (5) of the machine, at an appropriate moment of the operation cycle of the latter, so as to cause the delivery of a determined dose of said washing agent; in following the opening of said occlusion means (14), said washing agent contained in said compartment (13) can fall or flow due to gravity within the washing chamber (6) of the machine. <IMAGE>
