Abstract
A dishwashing machine, particularly a domestic dishwashing machine, having a washing tank and a door for opening and closing the washing tank, is provided with a housing shell on the inner wall of the door and a reservoir-dispenser assembly detachable from the shell. The reservoir-dispenser assembly contains detergent in powder form and includes a detergent reservoir and a dispenser. The reservoir of the reservoir-dispenser assembly contains a plurality of doses of detergent which are individually and automatically released during each washing cycle. In this way, the dishwashing machine can operate several times in succession without the need for replenishing the detergent. The dispenser can draw any amount of detergent from the reservoir sufficient for various preselected washing programs. The dispenser includes a seat delimiting a metering chamber, and a lid moveable off of and onto the seat to open and close the metering chamber. The lid includes a wiping element which will prevent moist detergent from building up on the end of the seat.
