A dispenser assembly includes a housing including a plurality of inlets and an outlet. The housing defines a first portion of a flow path. A rotatable disk is positioned within the housing, and the rotatable disk includes a groove in a top side of the rotatable disk. The groove defines a second portion of the flow path. A positioning wheel is coupled to the rotatable disk. A motor is mechanically coupled to the positioning wheel for driving rotation of the rotatable disk about an axis to align the groove of the rotatable disk with one of the plurality of inlets. When the groove of the rotatable disk engages with one of the plurality of inlets, the first portion of the flow path and the second portion of the flow path mesh to provide the flow path between one of the plurality of inlets and the outlet.

A system and method of operating a water supply system with one or more water consuming appliances is provided. The water supply system includes a hot water heater for supplying a flow of heated water through a supply conduit to at least one water consuming appliance. The water consuming appliance receives the flow of heated water and provides an indication of a fault condition if excessive water accumulates in the appliance, which might indicate a malfunction with a drain pump or a water supply valve. A safety shutoff valve is positioned on the supply conduit and is in operative communication with the water consuming appliance. The safety shutoff valve is configured for stopping the flow of heated water when it receives the indication of the fault condition.

A system and method of operating a water supply system with one or more water consuming appliances includes a water heater fluidly coupled to a water consuming appliance through a supply conduit. The water consuming appliance includes an appliance communication module for communicating a target temperature. A mixing valve is positioned on the supply conduit, is in operative communication with the appliance communication module, and heats water from the water heater and cold water from the water supply to provide a flow of supply water to the water consuming appliance at the target temperature.
