A washing machine comprises a detergent dispenser provided with a plurality of separate compartments for containing wash and/or rinse products to be added into the tub of the machine, such detergent dispenser comprising a rotating selector (20) capable of being displaced into various operational positions by driving means so as to enable the incoming water to selectively flow through each one of said compartment. The driving means comprise an electric motor (24) linked through a lever assembly (L) to the rotating selector (20) so that the rotation of the motor (24) is transformed into an oscillating movement of the selector (20) between two predetermined end positions.
Une lessiveuse comprenant un distributeur de détergent muni d'une pluralité de compartiments séparés contenant des produits de lavage et/ou de rinçage devant être ajoutés dans la cuve de la machine, ledit distributeur de détergent comprenant un sélecteur rotatif (20) susceptible d'être déplacé dans différentes positions de fonctionnement par des moyens d'entraînement de manière à permettre l'arrivée d'eau de s'écouler sélectivement à travers chacun desdits compartiments. Les moyens d'entraînement comprennent un moteur électrique (24) relié par un ensemble de levier (L) au sélecteur rotatif (20) de telle sorte que la rotation du moteur (24) est transformée en un mouvement d'oscillation du sélecteur (20) entre deux positions d'extrémité prédéterminées.
