Abstract
A washing machine comprising a cabinet that defines an interior with an access opening. A tank located within the interior. A first rotatable basket is located within the tank and defines a first washing compartment. A tower is rotatable about a rotational axis and is at least partially located within the first rotatable basket. A second rotatable basket defines a second washing compartment and is at least partially located within the first washing compartment and is mounted to the rotatable tower. A motor is drivingly coupled to the rotatable tower. A centrifugal dispensing assembly is coupled to the second rotatable basket. The centrifugal dispensing assembly comprises a first container that defines a first reservoir. A first centrifugal chamber is fluidly coupled to the first reservoir and is located centrifugally downstream of the first reservoir. A second centrifugal chamber is centrifugally downstream of the first centrifugal chamber. A second container defines a second reservoir fluidly coupled with the second centrifugal chamber. An orifice has a valve that fluidly couples the first and second centrifugal chambers.
