A table top dishwasher is disclosed which comprises: (a) a tub (10) for accommodating articles to be cleaned; (b) a cover member (12, 94) forming a water-tight hood over said tub (10), said hood comprising a door (16, 94, 102) which is movable between a raised opened position in which it provides access to the tub and a lowered closed position in which the door forms part of the water-tight hood; and (c) an electric switching means (60) adapted to change its switching condition when the door (16, 94, 102) is moved into or out of the fully closed position. In accordance with the invention the switching means comprises: - a spring-biased push button switch (71) provided in proximity of the tub (10), wherein a first activation element (78) is associated to the push button (72); and - a second activation element (62) which is provided at the door (16, 94, 102); - wherein one of said first and second activation elements (62, 78) comprises a magnet while the other one of said first and second activation elements comprises a ferromagnetic element or a second magnet, and wherein said first and second activation elements are arranged to be located in close proximity when the door (16, 94, 102) is closed, so that the push button (72) is actuated by the action of the magnetic force induced between the first and second activation elements when the door is closed.
